What is a bequest?
You may wish to help our families beyond your lifetime by leaving a gift to Ronald McDonald House Auckland in your will. This gift is known as a bequest.
Bequests provide us with the security of knowing that our work can continue long into the future. Any gift — large or small — will directly help the families of seriously ill children who depend on us.
A bequest has no effect on your financial situation now and will mean so much to the thousands of families we aim to shelter and support in the future.
