🧑‍🎄🎄Do you have Christmas fabric lying around? Fabric you really thought you would use, but now it's just lying in a cupboard? Our favourite sewing group is making goodies to sell for Christmas and need more material that is Christmas themed.
You can drop it to us at 29 Hall Street, Pukekohe, Monday to Friday 8am - 4pm. Thank you 🧑‍🎄🎄

💙We popped up to the building site yesterday, but it was very foggy! 😶‍🌫️ But what we could see was a brand new building platform. We are so excited - it is looking very real now.
💙We are building to ensure we can continue to provide the best palliative care to patients and whanau in the Franklin area.
But we need your help. To make sure the building is completed on time, we need more funds and you can help.

🏗️ We're building the future of Franklin Hospice – and we need your help.

Construction of our new purpose-built Franklin Hospice is now well underway. Over the next eight months, we need to raise the remaining $2.8 million to bring this vision to life.

This isn't just about constructing a building. It's about ensuring our community has the care it needs, now and for generations to come.

The reality is that one in three people will need hospice care during their lifetime. Hospice care is not just for people with cancer, nor is it only for the elderly. We support people with a wide range of life-limiting illnesses, regardless of age, diagnosis or background, while also caring for the families who walk alongside them.

Every day of the week, Franklin Hospice provides specialist palliative care free of charge. Around half of the cost of delivering our services is funded through government contracts. The remaining half relies entirely on the generosity of our community.

There is no government funding set aside to build a purpose-built hospice. Every contribution, large or small, helps create a place where people and families will receive comfort, dignity and support when they need it most.

Our new hospice will transform what we can offer.
It will provide welcoming spaces where patients can receive specialist symptom management, counselling, rehabilitation and complementary therapies in one purpose-designed environment. It will create a place where people and their whānau can come for support, education and connection.

This facility will allow us to care for more people, deliver more services, and meet the growing needs of our rapidly expanding community.

How you can help:
💙 Make a donation to our givealiitle page: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/building-franklins-future-hospice
💙 Share this post with your friends, family and colleagues.
💙 Talk to your workplace or business about becoming a campaign partner.
💙 Consider leaving a gift to Franklin Hospice in your Will to support future generations.

Every act of generosity, whether it's a donation, a conversation or simply sharing our story, brings us one step closer.

The new Franklin Hospice build is forging ahead, shovel by shovel, bringing hope to families across our community. ❤️
But while the build is steaming ahead, we still have a way to go to reach the funding needed to open the doors and provide the compassionate care our loved ones deserve.
One day, any one of us may need hospice care, or have someone we love who does. Franklin Hospice is more than a building. It's a place where patients can find comfort, families can find support, and precious moments can be shared when they matter most.
Today, we're asking for your help.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to completing this vital facility. Together, we can create a space where dignity, kindness, and care are available for everyone who needs it.
Please help us finish what we've started. Donate, share this post, and be part of building something truly special for our community.
💙 Because everyone deserves comfort. Because every family deserves support. Because every dollar makes a difference.
