Priya's Mop Chop for Starship!

$850 donated
Given by 28 generous donors in 6 weeks

Hey Everyone! Please support me in cutting off and donating my hair to show thanks and support to Starship Foundation - Kids Hospital

Auckland

Last year, my one-year-old nephew fell ill with viral pneumonia. Fortunately, Starship Hospital were there every step of the way supporting my sister and brother-in-law in making sure my nephew was receiving the best medical care 24/7.

After about a week in hospital, things took a turn for the worse, something just wasn't right - his heart rate was racing and he started to seizure. The doctors called "CODE BLUE". My sister described it to me later as "a blur of about 14 people", and she clearly remembers the strength and readiness of the medical team to save her baby's life.

I want to thank the amazing team of Doctors, Nurses and support staff at Starship Hospital for making sure my baby nephew made a full recovery and is now running around and causing mischief like none of that dreadful experience ever happened.

I am fundraising to cut my hair and donate the funds to the Starship

Foundation! If you have ever met me, you will know that I have always had super long hair, so I will also be donating the actual hair to be used to make a wig for a kid in need. Bob Hair Co. in South Yarra, Melbourne have kindly offered their services as their donation to this fundraiser.

Last year, my baby nephew was hospitalised for over a week with viral pneumonia which, at one devastating point, became life threatening. Starship doctors, nurses and staff supported him and his parents through this sickness with care and expertise, ensuring he came out healthy on the other side. I am so grateful that they were there to help, and want to show my thanks and support them in the amazing work they do for NZ families.

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.
