Help us bridge the gap in care for women experiencing miscarriage by supporting Miscarriage Matters New Zealand. Far too often, the support and resources available for those facing miscarriage fall short compared to the care provided during a healthy delivery. We’re aiming to change that through MMNZ – an organisation solely dedicated to addressing miscarriage, consolidating existing services, and advocating for education, openness, and empathy around this often overlooked experience.

Your contribution will enable us to create a unified support system, ensuring clear pathways, accessible information, and compassionate services for individuals navigating through this challenging time.

Every donation will directly assist in delivering care packages to families in Canterbury, the West Coast, North Shore (Auckland), South Auckland, and Wellington, with the ultimate goal of extending this support nationwide.

Join us in making a difference and providing comfort to those affected by miscarriage across New Zealand.

*If you wish to direct your donation specifically to Tessa at our Auckland Chapter, kindly include this in your comment ❤

More about us

MMNZ was founded by sisters Corrine Christian & Aleisha Black. Both women were pregnant at the same time, however Corrine experienced a miscarriage. It was the huge contrast in the care that they received that prompted them to start MMNZ.

New memorial bench seat 21 October 2024

In August we shared a special addition at The Groynes, Christchurch – near the spot where our Butterfly Fun Run begins each year. A beautiful memorial bench has been installed to celebrate the precious memories of those we've lost.

This bench features a heartfelt plaque with a poem written by a member of our community who reached out to us after her own miscarriage. Her words are a poignant reminder of the love and loss experienced by so many:

"I'll never know your face or see you smiling up at me.

I'll never forget about my little love that never came to be."

We hope this bench provides a peaceful space for reflection and remembrance.
