A simple way to make a difference

I chose to fundraise because every kid deserves hope. When we come together, we show them it’s fine to ask for help, especially on tough days.

Seeing my daughter’s smile again

When I felt helpless, I AM HOPE gave my daughter the support she needed. Now, her spirit is brighter than ever. I have my happy girl back.

Your support brings hope to more families
At I AM HOPE we’re about
normalising the inner critic
The voice inside all of our heads that has
us second-guessing everything we do.
The voice of doubt that beats us up and
tells us we’re failures, that we’re worthless.
Having an overactive inner critic is not a
 sign of mental illness, it’s a sign that we are normal.

🌈 Celebrating Pride.

We see you, we stand with you, and we’re here for you — always.

The key to life is hope!
Be that hope

For the last decade we have been giving mental health talks in schools and communities up and down Aotearoa.
