Give hope this Christmas season
Right now, families across Aotearoa are sitting beside hospital beds, waiting, worrying, and hoping. Hospital chaplains are there to listen, care, and bring comfort in those hardest moments.
“You’ve changed so much since I first met you.
You look ready to go home and begin a new chapter.”
— Chaplain Rosemary
When a young mum named Molly* sat beside her newborn in hospital, she was frightened and uncertain about the future.
Through quiet visits, kind conversations, and steady encouragement, a hospital chaplain helped her find the strength to believe in herself again — and hope for the days ahead.
Across Aotearoa, chaplains walk alongside families like Molly’s every day, offering a listening ear, a calm presence, and reassurance in the middle of crisis.
Your generosity makes that care possible.
