Wishing everyone a safe and restful Easter weekend! ❤️🐰

Pictured is the lovely Helen from our Invercargill Family Room with goodie baskets for the families staying with us this long weekend. Our staff around the country are doing the same at all of our Houses - one of the many ways we bring a little joy and normality to families with a child in hospital far from home.

Every donation helps us create a little magic for families when they need it most. Thank you ❤️

Thank you to the wonderful team from Kapiti Rotary who treated the families at our Wellington House to a delicious home-cooked meal - it was so appreciated. 🍽️❤️

After a long, draining day at the hospital, coming back to a warm meal already prepared is one less thing for families to worry about - and a small but meaningful moment of care during an incredibly tough time.

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful community behind us - thank you Kapiti Rotary Club! ❤️ If you and your team are looking for a meaningful way to give back, visit our website to find out how to get involved: https://bit.ly/4hnhfWR
