Kia ora!

I am humbly asking for support in funding my chest reduction surgery. Anyone with a larger chest size will know the struggles I've had for the past 10 years, especially on a petite frame. This includes neck, shoulder and back pain, headaches, rashes and difficulty exercising comfortably. This surgery would also reduce my risk of breast cancer, which I have on both sides of my family.

This is a major surgery with an initial estimate of $34,250, of which my insurance will cover $15,000. I have been working super hard (literally, with heaps of overtime!) to save towards the remaining $19,250 before my surgery date on September 29th, but still have quite a way to go.

I would so very appreciate any and all donations towards this surgery cost, which will significantly enable me a much better quality of life.

Ngā mihi nui,

Alex

Use of funds

All funds raised will go towards paying surgery costs of $19,250.

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.
