Helping my brother and sister-in-law rebuild after a devastating house fire.

We are reaching out as my brother Ben and sister-in-law Rose lost their home and all of their belongings in a devastating house fire last night. Tragically, they also lost their little dog Jack who was too frightened to try and escape. As they face the overwhelming task of starting again, we would be incredibly grateful for any support you can offer. I know times are incredibly tough for all right now, and that’s why absolutely any donation, as little as a dollar will just mean the absolute world. Unfortunately Ben and Rose didn’t have insurance so they really are starting from scratch.

Thank you so much for your compassion and kindness.

Use of funds

The money will be spent towards rebuilding their life and replacing everything that has been lost.

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.
