I Am Hope, Amazing

Pegasus, Canterbury

First off, thank you for taking the time to read this.

I did already have a Givealittle page started but I was asked to make a couple of changes so decided to start up a new page.

On the 26th of this month it is the 3rd anniversary of losing my grandson.

He was 17 years old and top of his school in most of his subjects.

He started up a school band and was meant to go to Japan when he was 18.

The band sang at his wake.

To say we don't miss him is an understatement.

To help with our grieving we are raising money for the I Am Hope foundation who do an amazing job providing free counselling for our children who are in need.

It's sad that we need this service, but we do and we can all help by donating to this great foundation.

It costs about $140 for a counselling session so if 7 people all donated $20, that is a counselling session for one of our young ones.

Every Friday I do an I Am Hope Meat raffle to help and on the 18th of April I am hosting a fundraiser as well with lots of raffles and auction prizes.

There is a Fire Engine for the kids as well as a Police Car with a radar gun which will take the speed of the kids as they run up the path.

It should be fun for them as this is what we are fun raising for, our kids.

Thank You

Jimmy

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.
