Tarryn's Disney Dream

$3,547 of $30,000 goal
Given by 71 generous donors in around 5 months

Help Tarryn reach her dream of being able cuddle Mickey Mouse!

Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui

Tarryn is a 22 year old young lady that has big dreams of being famous. She is an entrepreneur and runs Signing T (www.signingt.co.nz) business, kitten socialiser for SPCA and assistant coach with Zero Gravity Cheer Tots.

She does all this despite living in constant pain due to intestinal failure. Imagine not being able to eat birthday cake ever again, or your favorite meal!

This is Tarryn's reality as she has Severe Gastroparesis that affects her stomach, large and small bowel and her bladder. She is now in Palliative Care as there is nothing more they can do. She does not eat or drink and is solely on TPN through a hickman line.

As her whanau and I have fought long and hard (will keep fighting), but there are no options left.

It is now time to focus on the fun while she still can. It is her dream to hug Mickey Mouse!

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.
