Please help me give back to a family that does so much for the vulnerable kids in our community

Otago

Now is your chance to give back to someone who gives endlessly to our vulnerable children in the community of Otago and Southland and beyond. Juanita coordinates the Foster Hope volunteers and ensures all children in care recieve backpacks full of goodies. Her husband and children help her as well - collecting donated items, packing and delivering backpacks, PJs and necessities to children who often leave home without any belongings.

Juanitas son Josh is going to Nepal on an antipodeans expedition with his Tairei College in April 2021.

This is an amazing experience for the kids as they get involved in community based projects and learn amazing leadership and teamwork skills whilst giving back to a developing country that lacks alot of things we take for granted daily.

Josh has just been cleared from his epilepsy and is able to meet the medical requirements needed for this trip so it will be a life changing experience for him.

Josh's mum has extensive health issues of her own but this never stops her or her amazing family - hubby Mark and boys Josh and Mitch from working tirelessly to make sure the PJ drive and Kids Xmas present drive are a huge success year after year.

This family has helped me and others I know on many occasions and I am honoured to be able to give something back so I'm asking that you support me in supporting them. Every donation helps no matter the size.

LETS DO THIS! ❤❤

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
