You helped grieving families get through the hardest season of the year

You helped grieving families get through the hardest season of the year. Your generosity is incredible.

Thank you to each and every person who generously donated to our Family Christmas Appeal and to the Farmers Trees of Remembrance Campaign. Together these raised $66,929. This money helped fund our counselling and kaitakawaenga services, music therapy and carer support.

These essential services help give knowledge about what to expect on this end-of-life journey for a husband, a wife, or a child. Giving patients and whānau the support needed so they have the chance to spend quality time with each other and treasure every moment is what is most important at that very difficult time.

“It’s such a privilege because patients and their families and whānau let you into their world. When we’re working with someone, we’re in their space and the biggest thing is what’s important to them. Every day is filled with love because people are so vulnerable, and you just connect with them on a different level. You’re there. They’re sacred moments.”
