Hospice Heroes
The Series May Be Over, But The Story Lives on
We hope you had a chance to watch Hospice Heroes — and that it moved you as deeply as it moved us.
Over eight powerful episodes, we shared the real, raw, and remarkable stories of the people who make hospice care possible — and the whānau who rely on it.
While the docuseries has come to an end, the compassion, courage, and care it captured continue every single day.
To every patient and family who opened their hearts and homes to share their journey — thank you.
Your honesty, vulnerability, and strength touched thousands across Aotearoa. You are the true heroes of this series, and we are deeply grateful.
Every year, Hospice supports 1 in 3 New Zealanders at the end of life. This care is only possible because of people like you.
If Hospice Heroes inspired you, now is the time to act.
Your donation — whether it’s $20 or $200 — helps provide:
- The gentle presence of a nurse,
- The reassurance of 24/7 support,
- The dignity of care in a hospice bed,
- And the comfort of knowing no one walks this journey alone.
And if you’re able, please consider becoming a monthly donor.
Regular giving helps us plan ahead and say “yes” to every family who needs us — today, tomorrow, and always.
Thank you for watching. Thank you for caring. Thank you for being a Hospice Hero.
