Please Help Us Keep Megan Here ❤️

$1,250 of $7,000 goal
Given by 17 generous donors in 4 weeks

Please help Megan raise $7,000 for her residency so she can stay in NZ and continue supporting children with disabilities.

Waikato

Megan is one of those rare people who gives so much of herself to others. She is loving, kind, selfless and genuinely makes the world a better place just by being in it.

Megan works as a teacher aide, supporting children with disabilities and high needs. She is such a valued and important part of these children’s lives, and we are so incredibly lucky to have her here in New Zealand.

Megan’s visa was coming to an end and she was preparing to return home to South Africa when, unexpectedly, she was given the opportunity to apply for residency. It is an incredible opportunity but there’s one huge hurdle. She has to raise $7,000 to cover the cost of her application.

We’re asking our friends, family and community to please help us keep Megan here❤️

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will bring her one step closer to being able to stay in New Zealand and continue doing what she does best; caring for and supporting our kids.

Please donate if you can, and if you can’t, sharing this page could make all the difference.

Let’s show Megan just how loved and valued she is, and help us keep Megan here ❤️

Megan is a very special friend to me and my family, as well as so many people in the community.

Use of funds

All contributions will go towards paying her application fee, with a personal loan covering the rest of the cost if the full amount is not reached. She is not going back to South Africa!
