Please help us fit-out Te Whare Rānui!
Mary Potter Hospice is excited to have built Te Whare Rānui, our new Hospice hub in Rānui Heights, Porirua. We have raised $1,064,688 toward this building, and the main work is nearly complete. But we need your donations to raise another $100,000 so we can finish the fit-out of this hub.
The development of Te Whare Rānui will enable us to better meet the growing and diverse needs of people in this community facing a terminal illness. While raising this money this is a big challenge, we know how generous the Porirua community has been for Mary Potter Hospice in the past. Please contribute what you can to support Mary Potter Hospice – every donation counts, and we are grateful for all your gifts.

Solve This Riddle or Be Left Scratching Your Head!
With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?
