A Givealittle page to raise $1 million for David Bain is floundering.
The page, started in January by Wellington drug and alcohol counsellor Roger Brooking, initially wanted to raise $1m for Bain.
"My expectations at the start were a bit high, as in the past opinion polls indicated 60-70 per cent of people said he should have got compensation," he said.
The donations are currently sitting at $11,730.
Brooking said people may have been more "forthcoming" had the Government not paid Bain $925,000 in compensation.
