About My Challenge

Razzie was a large old german shepherd dog that was living in his owners car at the end of our street. His owner was going through a really tough time and as a result Razzie suffered neglect, cramped living space and malnutrition.

Initially we offered respite care for Razzie in an effort to help out his owner, however, due to substance abuse and ongoing mental illness, Razzie ended up living his last days in our care.

Razzie was a beautiful gentle giant who, depite being loved by his owner, had suffered needlessly as a result of his owners' mental illness.

Vale Razzie.

Supporting Mental Health Foundation

Funds raised will invested by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand [The MHF] in three core areas of mahi:

  • Promoting everyday actions that lift mental wellbeing
  • Providing tools that support people through tough times
  • Advocating for a better mental health system and society

With your tautoko/support, we can build a fairer, more connected Aotearoa where everyone’s mental health is valued and protected.

Whāia te hauora hinengaro kia puāwai ai te hauora tangata - there is no health without mental health.
