We love sharing stories about why Hospice care matters. 💛
This is Helen’s story. After her Dad was supported by Hospice West Auckland years ago, she found herself walking a very similar path with her Mum later on. Hospice didn't just provide medical support - it was practical guidance, kind presence, and reassurance when everything felt overwhelming. From nurses being “there at the end of the phone” to arranging help so Helen could take a break, the care made all the difference.
Though the experience was heartbreaking, Helen says it was also profoundly meaningful. She’s now chosen to include Hospice West Auckland in her will so others can receive the same compassionate care when they need it.

And thank you to everyone who supports Hospice. Whether you shop, donate, or spread the word, you help keep care like this possible. 💛
Helen has chosen to leave a gift in her will to Hospice West Auckland in gratitude for the Hospice care her Mum and Dad received.
