Following Tuesday’s devastating events in Christchurch, GrabOne responded by setting up an urgent, Christchurch Appeal Page to raise funds for those impacted by the quake. It proved to be an easy and accessible way for you to donate. Thousands of you opened your hearts, generously giving – for some more than once – to The New Zealand Red Cross.
Your donations amounted to over $220, 000 (in addition to the $10,000 GrabOne have donated). That’s from ordinary, generous Kiwis like yourselves putting together your $5, $10 or $20 towards helpingthose impacted by the earthquake. How awesome is that? Thank You!
Your donations will be immediately handed over to The New Zealand Red cross Christchurch Appeal fund – and it’ll go straight to those who need it most.
Your support and generosity at this difficult and stressful time has been outstanding. Thank You! We also thank DPS and BNZ for waiving the transaction fees, making the raising of these funds possible.
Please remember, there are still plenty of opportunities to donate. Remember, if you still wish to give more to the New Zealand Red Cross, you may do so at the official Red Cross website, here: http://www.redcross.org.nz/donate
If you require an invoice for a donation you have made via GrabOne for $5 or more please contact us here: helpdesk@grabone.co.nz

But many of Christchurch businesses and friends have been affected in some way by this disaster – and our thoughts are with all them at this time.
