In this episode, we’re joined by the wonderful Debbie! Debbie has worked at Make-A-Wish NZ for over ten years and now does so remotely from her caravan across the country!

We had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Debbie one Sunday morning about Make-A-Wish and learnt how people can support this worthy cause. 

This episode was packed with information from learning how to host a Bake-A-Wish fundraiser, to hearing heartwarming wish stories. This episode is definitely worth a listen and we are now even bigger fans of what this organisation does for Kiwi kids and their families. 


If you are interested in helping Make-A-Wish, Debbie would love to hear from you!
