This page is created to help bring our mate Stan home and cover the costs of his cremation so we can give him the farewell he deserves.

Rongotea, Manawatu-Wanganui

We’re heartbroken to share that our good mate Stan from Rongotea Pub has sadly passed away. Stan was one of those genuine friends, who brought laughs, stories, and a strong sense of community wherever he went. Right now, we’re coming together to raise funds to bring him back home so we can give him the farewell he deserves and have him cremated surrounded by the people who cared about him. Any support, big or small, would mean a lot to all of us.

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.
