Kenzie's Gift

Kenzie’s Gift is an Aotearoa New Zealand charity dedicated to supporting the mental wellbeing of tamariki, mātātahi and their whānau as they navigate serious illness, cancer, grief or bereavement.

Founded in memory of Kenzie Russell, Kenzie’s Gift helps young Kiwis access compassionate, professional support when they need it most. The charity provides fully funded one-on-one therapy sessions with registered mental health professionals, support kits, grief resources, articles and practical guidance for children, young people, parents and caregivers.

With a vision that no young Kiwi should face serious illness or grief alone, Kenzie’s Gift works across New Zealand to provide care, understanding and hope during some of life’s most difficult moments.
