We have a comprehensive collection of books available for any members of the community to borrow.
These books include books for children, teens and adults, dealing with the subjects of illness, dying, grief, and caregiving.
You matter because you are you, and you matter to the end of your life. We will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die.
Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern Hospice movement 1918 – 2005
We are so humbled by the support we are receiving to purchase our home for hospice. A large legacy tree mural is being constructed in the hospice to acknowledge the donors who are supporting the purchase of the property. This will be a permanent acknowledgment of the generosity of our community. Donors of $200 or above will have a named leaf on the tree, and all donors, for any amounts, will be recorded in a ledger which will be kept in the house. Donations can be made to Hospice MC, 06-0837-0319291-001. Please email your details to Belinda, belinda@hospicemc.nz, so that we have your details for acknowledging and receipting your donation. We are very grateful to Jeff at Harvey Signs for his creativity and generosity in creating our legacy tree.
Every fortnight the HR Department here at Waipuna hospice shares a quote with our team - we thought this one was worth sharing with our community as we come into a new year. 2020 has been a hard year for most, so now more than ever it's important to remember the impact kindness has on those around you. Make your impact positive 💙🤗
Sending so much aroha to everyone who has supported hospice during 2020. Thank you for your donations, shopping at the retail stores, volunteering your time and keeping the people using hospice services in your hearts and minds during a challenging year for us all.
