 Gift in Wills Brochure
|
We appreciate that organising your Will is one of the most important decisions of your life. You'll want to provide for your loved ones first. We encourage you to talk to them about leaving a gift in your Will to The Foundation before making your decision. If you choose to remember The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ in your Will, the next step is to visit your solicitor or the trustee company. When you're there, you will need to tell them who you want to benefit from your Will and who you wish to act as your executors. You will also need to tell your solicitor or the trustee company what kind of gift you want to make to The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ. We are sincerely thankful for your kind consideration toward making this heartfelt gift that will bring sight to so many people in the Pacific. |
Who we are -
Kiwi-born Professor Fred Hollows (1929-1993) was a world-renowned eye surgeon and humanitarian who worked tirelessly to restore sight to needlessly blind people. In his time, Fred helped restore eyesight to thousands of people and now, more than 30 years later, his work lives on.
The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ strives to end avoidable blindness and vision impairment in the Pacific and is part of a global organisation that works in more than 25 countries worldwide.
Globally, 9 out of 10 people who are blind don’t need to be; their condition is preventable or treatable.
The Foundation works with Pacific governments, Ministries of Health, and universities to restore sight to the needlessly blind and vision impaired, train local eye health specialists to provide eye care services in their own communities and strengthen local health systems so that everyone can access quality eye care.
Every year The Foundation restores sight to thousands of people across the Pacific who are needlessly blind or vision impaired. This life-changing work not only restores sight, it can enable family members who have been staying home to help care for their loved ones, to return to work or school. It can transform the lives of entire families and communities. This is made possible only through the generosity of our supporters.
Gifts in Wills are such a vital part of that support.
Would you consider leaving a Gift in your Will to give the gift of sight long into the future?
You’ll be helping to give people in the Pacific access to the eye care they need, even in the most remote villages. You’ll also be helping to increase the numbers of eye doctors, nurses, and facilities within those communities that will restore sight to thousands of people.
Please click here to read our Gift in Wills brochure or you can visit our website www.hollows.org.nz to read how your future gift will help in so many ways - through the men, women, and children whose lives have been transformed.
We are sincerely thankful for your kind consideration toward making this heartfelt gift that will bring sight to so many people in the Pacific.
Please consider making Fred's legacy your legacy by leaving a Gift in your Will.

Testimonials
| Alison and Richard are a couple who have both left a gift in their Will to The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ “I think we all agree that the gift of sight is one of the best gifts we can get. We will be leaving money in our Will so we can help The Foundation continue the fantastic work once we’ve gone.” – Alison and Richard. After a lifetime wearing glasses, Alison treasures the gift of sight: “I’ve been a doctor for 40 years; there’s no way I could have done the job I love without adequate vision for study and work. I am extremely short-sighted and have a strong family history of glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration so annual eye checks are vital, too. But all this is not cheap, which saddens me - I feel health care is a right not a privilege and that should include our senses that enable us to function in society, earn a living and make a contribution. I can afford them but many can’t. “ Her partner, Richard, had a serious eye injury at just six years old, and was lucky enough to have surgery to save his sight: “When I was six years old, I had a serious penetrating eye injury. I was very lucky that in 1962 there was a good ophthalmologist in Nairobi who performed an iridectomy. 60 years later I still have good sight. My Dad also had a cataract operation when he was 86. He lived alone until he was 96. After the operation his joy of life was palpable. He was so excited. I remember it well. His enthusiasm returned as he exclaimed: ‘It’s magic; I haven't seen colours like that for years, and now I can see the train go by. It's the closest I've come to a miracle! He and I got quite emotional.” |
