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. ... See MoreSee Less
