Our Dad - Our Hero - Your Veteran

Marlborough

Dad, Father of 3 Amanda, John and Brendon, Husband to Wendy and Grandad to Brydon. He has a battle with cancer that will be hard fought.

Dad has Lung Cancer that cant be operated on and is advanced. we would love your support through this tough time.

Dad aka "Niby" was in the Service of the RZNAF for over 30 years as primarily Military and also Civilian service. in that time he was Search and Rescue and as well as Sports Rep as well. Being Military also gave us life long memories of being on base and flying in military aircraft for our holidays.

Dad is our hero that took us on adventures around the country, took us fishing, boating and would always make sure there was a lesson to be learnt. Its those lessons of be "useful" that allows me to build pretty much anything, Fix anything or destroy it trying to.

His love of his music was in a word polarizing haha, from Top Twins Yodeling to Kevin Bloody Wilson to Bagpipes..

We are looking to keep dad as comfortable as possible through this journey and to be there for him.

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.
