If you or your whānau are affected by serious illness or grief, talk to us to see how we can help.
Assisted dying recently became legal in Aotearoa, and whānau with a loved one facing terminal illness or intolerable suffering now have an additional option. This option brings with it a new challenge—how do we support our tamariki and mātātahi when a loved one chooses an assisted death?
Linda Simmons is a champion for Kenzie’s Gift. An award-winning real estate agent at Bayleys Devonport, Linda has just hit the incredible milestone of $40,000 donated. But she's not stopping there. This July, Linda is braving the chilly waters around Devonport to raise funds for the Kenzie's Gift Winter Swim Challenge. Linda talks about what drives her, and why this cause is so important.
The Winter Challenge was featured on 1 News, sharing why hundreds of brave Kiwis are taking icy dips this July to support young people navigating grief and serious illness. Every freezing dip and donation helps Kenzie's Gift provide free mental health support, and we’re so proud of the momentum so far. We’ve raised $8.6K and the dips just keep coming.
Kenzie's Gift is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2005 (CC21425)
