Let's do something to help some fellow dairy farmers.

Waikato

Hello fellow show people.

Gemma and Julie are very worried about the Fowlies.

Some of you may know that they are 50% share milking just out of Ngatea. They had a great relationship with the original farm owners for quite a few years. The past 10 months however, the situation has taken a turn for the worse with the son-in-law taking over management.

We don’t want to make judgements on the rights and wrongs of what has happened, this will be sorted by mediators and lawyers.

However, we would really like to help Stu and Heather by getting them off the farm for a night. The stress they are under is immense, combined with the third dry year in a row for the district is just too much to deal with. They need to know that there are people that care for them and want to help them.

If you would like to contribute something towards helping them out, that would be fantastic. We would like to be able to get a relief milker for them, a meal at a restaurant and a night away.

If you need more information or feel you may be able to help in some other way, please call me or Gemma.

Thank you.

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.
