Short-term support while Reuben recovers

$1,030 donated
Given by 14 generous donors in 26 days

Reuben is recovering from an accident and his work capacity is temporarily reduced. This page helps cover essential costs short-term.

Stoke, Nelson

Hi everyone - I'm Reuben's wife Calita and I'm setting up on his behalf.

Reuben has recently had an accident and is currently recovering. His work capacity is temporarly reduced while he heals, and we're in the process of setting up ACC (Coverplus Extra).

In the meantime there's a short-term cashflow gap while everything stabiles. This GiveaLittle page is simply a bridge to fund for essentials so we can keep things steady during recovery.

What support will cover

Essential business expenses (fixed costs that continue during recovery)

Lost income due to reduced work capacity

Household essentials normally covered by business income

Recovery-related costs (appointments, transport, basic care needs)

A short-term financial bridge to keep the business operating while work capacity is limited

Use of funds

Support will help cover essential business and household costs, lost income and recovery-related expenses during a temporary reduction in work capacity.

Reu’s Recovery   4 March 2026

We wanted to share a small update and say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported our whānau.

Reu has now had his stitches removed and has recently started easing back into some light duties. It’s a positive step forward in his recovery. We are now waiting to speak with concussion services as part of the next stage of his healing.

We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, messages, prayers and support we’ve received. It has meant so much to our family during this time.

Thank you again for being part of our journey.

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.
