Auckland

My nephew, Mark Nathan Ohomna was rushed to the hospital last Tuesday, 10th Feb due to high fever and he had seizure. He was in a coma for days and is diagnosed with Japanase Encephalitis, a serious mosquito-borne viral infection that primarily affects the brain and can cause severe neurological complications or death. After waking up from deep sleep, he was put off his ventilator and we thought he's on the road for recovery but then he couldn't breathe so they put back his ventilator and again in deep sleep in the ICU. He is raised by his single mum who works overseas as a Domestic Helper but had to go back home to the Phils to take care of him. To date his medical bills spiked to almost P700,000.00 (approx. $21,000.00). Our immediate families & relatives are taking turns to help her mum in taking care of him whilst in the Hospital and also exploring other options to help her alleviate the cost of medical bills. We are counting on your kindness to help Nathan recover from his illness. Every dollar you give, small or big amount is greatly appreciated and will go a long way to help this boy live the life he should be enjoying. Thank you to everyone and may God bless you a thousand fold.

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.
