Fundraising to provide support for our close friend Craig, and family, following his brain tumour diagnosis.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

In December last year, Craig received the heartbreaking news that he has a brain tumour. Together with Emily, Ellie, Isaac, and Joel, he is now navigating a journey their family never imagined they would have to face - one filled with many trials, much uncertainty, but also hope.

Craig has had to take leave from work and is preparing to begin an intensive regimen of radiation and chemotherapy, a time of profound challenges for Craig and his loved ones.

Throughout this incredibly difficult time, Craig’s priority is his treatment, building his strength, and treasuring precious moments with Emily, and his children.

The financial pressure of ongoing medical and living expenses, adds another level of stress during an already overwhelming time. And that is why I am asking for your support to help Craig and his family.

No matter the amount, your kindness and love will make an immeasurable difference, and would be appreciated beyond measure.

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.
