We "heart" you Sean and Kim

Support and care for Sean and Kim- to provide a little of what they so generously gift to all of us.

Titirangi, Auckland

I have always admired how Kim and Sean have faced the ups and downs of life with such grace and unity, however the recent curveballs that life has thrown at them mean they could do with a bit of the support from all of us that they so generously have given to those in their lives.

Sean has struggled with his health lately, at the end of 2021 a diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer resulted in surgery and a complicated recovery. Then a month ago Sean was also diagnosed with a serious heart issue due to a defect in one of his valves. He had urgent open heart surgery last week, and is doing well although it will be a long road to recovery. On top of all this, he still needs further cancer treatment once he is up to it.

I think this situation has been very overwhelming for their family, they are facing a long period of time with Sean being unable to work and Kim needing to be off work to help Sean's recovery in these next few weeks and with future cancer treatment support.

I know many people have already given their time and care and support to Kim and Sean physically, and they have been so appreciative of that, and don't want to ask more of anyone. However some of us can't be there to provide physical support and meals etc., and we do so want to support them in this time. Please only give what you comfortably can.

Kim is my darling "wifey - best friend" and has always been there to support me through all the things!

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.
