Send off for Mum (Irene Trotter).

$4,120 of $3,000 goal
Given by 81 generous donors in 5 weeks

Hi all, We'd appreciate some of your time to view this page for help with our mum's funeral costs. -Shane, Sophie, and family.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Hi everyone,

As you may already know, our Mum (Irene to others), has unfortunately passed away unexpectedly.

Mum was only 60 years old and recovering from a routine surgery, so we had no reason to believe anything like this would happen.

We'd like to reach out to our friends and family, and those who knew Mum personally, if they are able to help in any way towards costs for her send-off.

With all of this being such an unexpected situation to be in, our personal financial situations are proving difficult to organise funds to the degree needed for funeral costs and we really want to be able to provide the send-off that we know that she deserves.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, though it is not expected.

Although funeral costs can be partly covered through WINZ, even the simplest arrangements can cost upwards of $5000+. This is why our goal is $3000, to cover the gap between other assistance available to us and the cost of services.

Big or small, any contribution helps and will be greatly appreciated by us and the rest of Mum's family.

Love,

Shane, Sophie, and the rest of Mum's family.

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.

Your mum breathed utter authenticity and possessed a heart and soul filled to the brim with beauty. That larger than life star of hers will be sorely missed by many of us. My condolences Shane, Sophie, and family. If you feel up to communicating at some stage, please email me.

I only knew your Mum from her online presence. She was always her authentic, funny, light self. I'm so sorry for your terrible loss.
