Help with the costs for saving Romeo. the Italian Greyhound.

Whangaparaoa, Auckland

I didn't see this one coming!

Romeo is an Italian Greyound who came to live with me after my 14 year old Georgio, also an Italian Greyhound, died of old age. It turns out Romeo has glass legs. He's a lovable psycho who was meant to be the fun cool friend I need as I age gracefully on the Hibiscus Coast.

Instead, he's now broken both his frontlegs and at my time in life, $14,000 is a massive ask. I've maxed out a credit card and need to look out for peope who can help me alleviate it all and join the Romeo fan club. His Uncle John has helped put this together and will be an early helper.

While insurance was in place at the time, it won't cover everything.

Use of funds

All funds raised will go to Romeo's medical costs.

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.
