Please help to provide Rest Home with new lounge chairs

Requiring donations for an upgrade towards the home of 20 residents in Aged Care facility

Canterbury

Geraldine Retirement Villages plans to provide the residents with new high back lounge chairs in the communal lounge were put on hold due to the wage increase of the pay equity legislation. The new legislation resulted in a severe income loss for the facility due to the government not fully funding rural or small Rest Homes. The facility is now unable to commit to the new up grade in the lounge area where residents/family/friends spend many hours engaging in conversations, entertainment and activities.

We are a 20 bed facility (Rest Home Level Care) that are committed to providing our Residents with those qualities in which we all look for in the place we call "HOME".

* Love & Support

* Physical Comfort & Security

* Dignity & Independence

* Privacy

We undertake to provide an environment in which Elder Persons with varying limitations are enabled to maximize their capacity to enjoy life through the meeting of their physical, social, cultural, emotional & spiritual needs.

We would appreciate any donations to enable us to complete this project towards refurnishing the communal lounge for our residents

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.
