For Carson, For Kerrod, for the 606- Charity Fight night Fundraiser

$430 donated
Given by 14 generous donors in 4 weeks

I am participating in a charity fight night to fundraise for Life Matters Suicide Prevention Trust.

Otago

2017 was a very tough time for our whanau, two days after burying our father, two of our nephews committed suicide, one of them had his life support turned off and passed away in my arms. Suicide had never crossed the path of our whanau before this and I hope that it never does again. In the past year 606 people took their own lives, two were my nephews, two were work colleagues and one was a young man I had just started working with to try and help turn his life around. This number is greater than our road toll and still increasing each year.

I promised to my whanau that I would do ANYTHING to stop this from happening again and this is a small part of me taking action.

On November 24 in Dunedin I will take part in the Charity fight night to raise funds for Life Matters Suicide Prevention Trust, for the 606, for my nephews and for all those still needing support. This organization is playing a huge role in our community in making a positive difference. I hope to inspire those who feel like giving up, to keep going, to keep fighting, to reach out and talk.

Tihei Mauri Ora!

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.
