September was Wills Month in Aotearoa, and longstanding supporter, Jan Barton was proud to share her motivations for including a gift to the Plunket Foundation in her Will.
Plunket has played an important role in Jan’s life, right from the start. Some of Jan’s earliest memories include walking to the local Plunket rooms with her mum, and ‘playing Plunket’ with dolls in her front yard. Later, as a young māmā raising three children in rural Auckland in the 1960s, Jan relied on her Plunket nurse for practical advice and reassurance.
Like many in her community, Jan joined her local Plunket committee, beginning a volunteer journey that spanned nearly 40 years.
“I have decided to leave a gift in my will to Plunket because it will be my final contribution to the cause that I have given to all my life,” says Jan.
Plunket partners with a few online Will providers, making it easy for New Zealanders to consider Plunket when creating their Will.
