Repairs to my boat that I live on. It sank in Mapua in a freak accident. The interior has sustained water damage.

My yacht sank alongside the Mapua Wharf. It was a freak accident caused by the boat catching the wharf when the tide dropped.

I wasn't insured. My boat has been refloated. There is water damage to the interior including electrical gear etc.

Any financial assistance would be appreciated.

I am trying to do the work myself to keep costs down.

Once the work is done I plan on moving back onto the boat.

Use of funds

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.
