Please help Michael "ChaelYeah" Arvinz

$1,480 of $2,000 goal
Given by 11 generous donors in 12 weeks

Michael (ChaelYeah) had a stroke due to a brain blood clot, a life-threatening condition needing urgent treatment, please help if you can.

Canterbury

Many of you may recall that we organized a fundraiser for Michael (ChaelYeah) in 2022 when he lost his home and all his possessions in a fire that consumed his apartment building. The funds raised were utilized to relocate him and his family from an emergency shelter in a large hall to a new apartment, allowing them to make a fresh start from scratch.

In June of this year, Michael experienced a stroke which was later diagnosed as a result of a blood clot in his brain. Having a blood clot in the brain is a life-threatening condition that, if left untreated, can lead to permanent paralysis or even death. Treatment options range from medication to surgical removal, and it's crucial that this is undertaken sooner rather than later to prevent lasting damage.

If you can find it in your heart to contribute, regardless of the amount, we can make a significant difference in helping Michael navigate through this extremely challenging series of events.

All funds raised from this fundraiser will go towards hospital visit costs and treatment costs. Michael lives in Manila, Philippines where this treatment is not covered by public healthcare.

Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting my friend.

Use of funds

The money will be spent on treatment for a blood clot and multiple hospital visits. A doctor will assess the best treatment option once the funds are available to him. Currently that is medication but may escalate very shortly to surgery.

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.
