If you or your whānau are affected by serious illness or grief, talk to us to see how we can help.
I was heartbroken by the news that Nigel Latta, our incredible ambassador and friend, died on 30th September 2025. Nigel wasn’t just a figurehead for Kenzie’s Gift—he genuinely cared about tamariki and mātātahi, passionately supporting our work to help them cope when faced with serious illness or grief.
Assisted dying recently became legal in Aotearoa, and whānau with a loved one facing terminal illness or intolerable suffering now have an additional option.
Linda Simmons is a champion for Kenzie’s Gift. An award-winning real estate agent at Bayleys Devonport, Linda has just hit the incredible milestone of $40,000 donated. But she's not stopping there. This July, Linda is braving the chilly waters around Devonport to raise funds for the Kenzie's Gift Winter Swim Challenge. Linda talks about what drives her, and why this cause is so important.
Kenzie's Gift is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2005 (CC21425)
