Infertility is often swept under the rug due to it being a sensitive/whakamā issue. However, one in four New Zealanders face this devastating life event at some point, making it a ‘silent epidemic’.
The Good Registry’s charity partner, Fertility New Zealand, is committed to walking alongside all people facing fertility challenges. They provide support, information, and advocacy, helping people facing fertility challenges to feel positive and empowered.
Fertility NZ has a vision that everyone gets the support they need during their fertility experience because, they believe that having the choice to create the whanau of your dreams is a fundamental part of our humanity. Fertility NZ is there for people who are starting, building or completing their family, whether there is one person or many, one child or many, the challenges faced are personal, emotional and unique.
With one in four Kiwis facing infertility in their lifetime, everyone knows someone that has needed support from Fertility NZ. An easy way for you to support them through their silent battle is to donate to Fertility NZ through our Good Registries and Gift Cards. A donation of just $15 has an impact and will enable one person to receive support from the Fertility NZ hotline.
You can find out more about Fertility New Zealand and their services on their website.
If you'd like to do something to support them today:
- Create your own Good Registry for a special event and ask friends and family to donate to a charity you choose (such as Fertility New Zealand).
- Give Good Gift Cards instead of traditional gifts, to show people you are thinking about them, and enable them to donate to charities they care about, including Fertility New Zealand.
