Remembering Kristie

Wellington

Kristie was full of energy and adventure and we are going to miss her dearly. We know there will be many people wanting to pass on their respects and support Damon and Theo through the next few months.

Our family would like to pass on our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us in all the many ways over Kristie's cancer journey. We have been very humbled by the outpouring of love and your support has meant more than you can know. For those that would like to, and in lieu of flowers and food parcels, this page has been set up to provide a place for people to contribute should they wish. Your kindness will help Damon honour her last wishes and take some pressure off while they navigate their life without a much-loved wife and mummy.

We have also started a tributes page where we would love you to add photos, memories and messages. We hope, no matter where you are in the world or how you knew Kristie, you are able to share something we can cherish forever. https://www.mykeeper.com/KristieRidgway/

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.
