💛🌼 Introduction for Joy Reid – One Mother to Another.
We were delighted to welcome Joy Reid, co-founder and CEO of the Christchurch charity One Mother to Another.
Founded in 2016 by Joy and Christina Buckland, this wonderful organisation provides care packages to parents and caregivers who find themselves in hospital with a sick child or newborn.
Each pack includes practical items, small comforts, and a handwritten note of encouragement - all designed to offer a little bit of hope and kindness at what can be a very difficult time.
From humble beginnings, One Mother to Another now delivers thousands of these packs every year to hospitals and neonatal units across the South Island, supported by an incredible team of volunteers and community partners.
Thank you Joy Reid, for sharing the inspiring story behind One Mother to Another and the impact it continues to have for families throughout Aotearoa.
Thank you…

Part of being in Zonta is friendship! Today was a great example of just that. Lovely to share a winter’s lunch for those in town. Lots of laughs, friends, and getting to know three of our lovely new members! Lovely to have a room full of Zonta Spirit (kindness) shared with all 🫶🌼💛
