Kenzie’s Gift provides psychological support to young Kiwis facing the death of a parent or sibling or experiencing serious illness within their family. Childhood grief or illness leaves lasting impacts—affecting emotional wellbeing, schooling, and relationships long into adulthood. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With timely, professional therapeutic support, we help kids build resilience, process trauma, and create brighter futures.
Kenzie’s Gift was born from personal experience. After my daughter Kenzie died from cancer at age three, I understood the profound psychological needs of grieving children. Now, we ensure kids across Aotearoa receive critical support—completely free, thanks to generous donors like you.
Right now, more families than ever are reaching out to us. The cost-of-living crisis and stretched mental health services mean Kenzie's Gift is a lifeline. Every donation goes directly towards providing specialist therapy, tailored resources, and practical guidance.

By supporting Kenzie’s Gift, you’re investing in something tangible: the mental health and wellbeing of Kiwi kids who need it most.
