Helping Aidan replace the stolen camera gear he relies on for his livelihood after a devastating burglary.

Auckland

Last week, our friend Aidan was the victim of a devastating burglary in which $100,000 worth of professional camera equipment was stolen from his locked home.

This wasn’t just “stuff” - it was the gear he relies on for his livelihood and creative work. Cameras, lenses, and film equipment built up over years of dedication and hard work are now gone, with at best, insurance only covering a fraction of what was lost.

Aidan works in the film and creative industry, and this loss has had an immediate impact on his ability to work and earn an income. He is self-taught, deeply talented, and has been incredibly generous with his skills, time, and equipment over the years, contributing to documentary series and projects that shine a light on important social issues.

We’re starting this Givealittle to help ease the financial burden of replacing essential equipment so he can get back on his feet and back behind the camera.

Any contribution, big or small, would mean the world. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would help immensely.

Thank you for supporting a great person through a truly brutal situation.

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.
