Philanthropy should be for friends too. We have all been helped tremendously by Michael Holland for years and now is our chance to return the deed. In Mike's retirement this travel would be financially difficult. Let us ensure Michael can be with his family during this time. All funds raised will go to Michael Holland.

Mr Holland's Safe Return 9 July 2014

This will be the final update on the page. I'd like to send one last tremendous thank you to all who helped contribute and promote the givealittle cause to get Michael Holland to his brothers funeral. Mike is now safely back in NZ after a huge trip (flight delays and all) and you'll notice some new posts on Facebook - I know you all missed the micro-essays he writes. I thought it best not to highlight Mike's being out of the country on this open forum to ensure he doesn't come back to a burgled property - but now he's been and returned we're good to celebrate his homecoming. You are all very generous and I'm so proud to see such a coming together of friends to ensure this was possible.

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.

Good luck Michael. My thoughts are with you and your family. Your guidance while at St Mark's has helped me become who I am today. I thank you for this.
