Fundraising to support Tomo

Christchurch, Canterbury

My dear friend Tomo Shibata, 36 years old, who just welcomed his first born less than 6 months ago, had been diagnosed a month ago with a Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). His health condition has fast deteriorated and he flew to Japan in the hope to find a treatment to fight his tumour, while his wife Leslie and baby Viktor stayed in New Zealand.

Tomo is the kindest and the most charitable person I know as he has always been here for his family, friends and community.

Please help to support him to go through this critical time in life and bring Tomo back home to New Zealand in a good health and support his wife and baby to make it through this extremely difficult time. Thank you.

Tomo is close friend of me and my family.

Use of funds

The money raised will be used to support the hospital cost and related expenses and provide financial support to alleviate the stress of covering his family living and house expenses while he is unable to work, any other unanticipated costs

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.
