Give a little hope this Christmas, because no parent should feel alone at their child’s hospital bedside. Not just a gift - it’s connection.
Christchurch, Canterbury
Bring comfort to parents with little ones in hospital this Christmas
At Christmas time, with whānau near -
most share good food and moments dear.
But some are stuck in hospital walls,
while caring for their baby small.
No jandals, picnics, Christmas cheer -
just waiting, worrying, wiping a tear.
That's where your kindness plays a part -
a gift of hope, straight from the heart.

While many of us will celebrate the festive season with family, some parents will be spending the holidays in hospital - caring for a seriously ill child or newborn.
It's an incredibly tough time, filled with stress, worry, and isolation.
That's where One Mother to Another steps in.
Our Christmas care packages, filled with essentials, festive treats, and a handwritten note of encouragement, remind caregivers they are not forgotten.
This year, we're aiming to reach 350 families across 21 hospital wards throughout the South Island.
And the best part - every dollar you give will be DOUBLED by our generous match funders!
$25 becomes $50
$50 becomes $100
Every gift brings twice the impact.
Thank you for helping us spread kindness when it matters most.
Through the simple act of gift giving, One Mother to Another supports parents and whānau with a hospitalised baby or child, as well as mothers facing their own mental health challenges.
We do this by delivering more than 7,000 care packages every year to South Island hospital wards, offering recipients practical support, comfort, and a reminder that they’re not alone
We welcome Payroll Giving through Givealitte. Regular donations help us plan ahead and make a lasting difference.
