Mercy Hospice

We’re honoured to share Louie Loten’s heartfelt story about her late husband Stephen Bradshaw’s care at Mercy Hospice with you 💙

Lou and Stephen’s story poignantly captures the compassion and care Mercy Hospice works hard to provide to all families we look after.

Mercy Hospice cares not only for patients, but also their whānau, friends, carers and communities, free of charge. But the gap between demand for our services and funding is growing.

If you’re able to support Mercy Hospice, a tax-deductible donation before the end of this financial year (March 31) will help more families receive the same care when they need it most.

Thank you so much to Farmers St. Lukes, Queen Street, Sylvia Park and Newmarket for the incredible support and hard work over the Christmas period. Trees of Remembrance brought in over $30,000 for Mercy Hospice to help us continue to provide free palliative care to our community. Ngā mihi nui!

Izzy is back for her fourth year running Round the Bays for Mercy Hospice - year after year, she shows up, puts in the mahi, and supports our community with so much heart. 🧡💙🧡💙
If you’re not able to run this year, backing Izzy is a beautiful way to be part of the kaupapa. Even $5 makes a real difference.
And honestly… this girl gets things done. She’s a full‑time high school student, works a part‑time job, and still spends her time supporting Mercy. 😅
Her dedication runs deep too - with her mum working here at Mercy Hospice, being is truly a family affair.
Support Izzy’s run - every dollar matters! https://rtbauckland26.grassrootz.com/mercy-hospice/anna-and-izzy

Whether your goal is $20, $40, or $100 it all matters.
Round the Bays fundraising isn’t about huge totals; it’s about community, care, and doing what you can.
Raise $40 and you’ve already covered a full day of meals for a patient in our Inpatient Unit. 💚
Join the team and make your steps count.

Happy Auckland Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈
We are so excited to be returning to the Auckland Rainbow Parade to continue to show our communities that Hospice is here for them. 
Come along to Ponsonby Road on February 21st at 7.30pm to see us join other groups celebrating pride! Mercy District has the highest percentage of the population who identify as LGBTQIA+ compared to other hospices and we are proud to be able to provide palliative care to all of our rainbow and takatāpui whānau. Everyone deserves to be themselves and live every moment. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

Early engagement with hospice brings more comfort, less crisis — for patients and the people who love them.

As New Zealand’s population ages, the number of people dying each year will rise rapidly. With hospices already experiencing funding shortages, who will care for us at the end of our lives?

Meri Kirihimete from everyone at Mercy Hospice.

Your kindness this year has helped bring care, comfort and dignity to those who need it most. We’re deeply grateful for your support, and wish you and your loved ones a Christmas filled with warmth, connection and peace.

Our staff have had a blast visiting the stores, seeing the beautiful messages and chatting with the staff about the Mercy Hospice mahi. And we couldn't have rallied them as easily without the help of the wonderful students at St. Mary's college who donated home made sweet treats to help ensure the Farmers staff were energised and ready to spread the word! If you haven't already, go into your nearest Farmers, give a donation and add your message to the tree!
