September is Wills Month.💛

For Ian, supporting Mary Potter Hospice is about helping make sure others can receive the same care, comfort and support when they need it most.

A gift in your Will is one way to make that support continue into the future. After taking care of the people you love, choosing to remember Mary Potter Hospice in your Will can help ensure hospice care is there for other patients and whānau in our community.

Ian shares why Mary Potter Hospice matters to him, and why leaving something in your Will can make such a meaningful difference.💛

The kindest thing you can leave behind can be the gift of care for someone else.💛
