Time to dig deep for Te Omanga Hospice
It has been a tough year for the Te Omamga Hospice. Fundraising manager Leanna Bruce says Covid has had a major impact financially.
It costs more than $7 million annually to run the hospice and her job is to raise $3 million every year. A number of events have been cancelled due to Covid and their shops closed during the lockdown.
The next major fund-raiser is an exhibition organised by Hutt artist Alice Huang. Her father, Ruosong, died in the hospice and she is very grateful for the care he received.
