Supporting a top art student with a portable digital tablet as she starts a new school and the next chapter of her creative journey.

Auckland

Our daughter is 15 and has a deep love for art. Last year she came first in her year for art, something she worked incredibly hard for and is very proud of. She’s also moving to a new school, which is more art focused though brings both excitement and big changes.

Art is more than a subject for her — it’s how she expresses herself and processes the world. As she begins this new chapter of her life, I'm asking for help to support her by getting her a portable digital drawing tablet, so she can create wherever she is — at school, at home, or anywhere in between.

A tablet would allow her to explore digital art alongside traditional drawing, build new skills, and keep creating even as her environment changes. It’s an investment in her creativity, growth, and passion.

Any contribution, big or small, would mean so much to her and to us. Thank you for helping encourage a young artist to keep drawing, dreaming, and growing.

She is my daughter. The picture provided is something she drew recently. We have a drawing tablet at home which I was able to get for her before the recession hit but it's not portable.

Use of funds

We are hoping to get her the Wacom MovinkPad 11 from PB TECH.

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.
