Heartland is thrilled to have helped more than 17,000 Kiwis live a more comfortable retirement with a reverse mortgage.

A recent survey showed that 94% of customers would recommend a Heartland Reverse Mortgage to friends and family.

Here are a couple of quotes from our Heartland Reverse Mortgage customers: “We really are so happy that we decided to go ahead. The fact that Heartland was willing to work with us made all the difference and has given us peace of mind during a difficult time.” 

“Simply put, we wouldn’t have been able to do what we’ve done without the mortgage. It’s really given us a new lease on life.”

Not So Easy Christmas

Rhonda Neighbourly Lead from Hastings Central

Christmas is coming!
Is this Christmas going to be a first for you since someone you loved passed away?
Perhaps, this year, marks two or more years since your loved one left this earthly life?

Christmas is coming!
Is this Christmas going to be a first for you since someone you loved passed away?
Perhaps, this year, marks two or more years since your loved one left this earthly life?
One thing you might like to do is create a tradition with them in mind.
Possible ideas are:
* set a place for them at the table
* say a prayer of thanksgiving that they lived
* make a dish and give it their name "Noeline's Desert"
* collect some berries because that is what they used to do
- "Keith's Berries".
* listen to their favourite music
* go for a walk or have a game with them in mind because that is what they liked to do

The memory of a person no longer with us can be a powerful aid in coping with our grief.
Strength and Peace be yours this Christmas.
With Kind Wishes to you all

As a home dialysis patient, I regularly receive medical supplies in very strong boxes (a lot of my medical supplies are heavy liquids).

So I have so many boxes to give away. For free. To any who wants them.
They haven't been flattened, because they'd lose a lot of their strength if I did that (although they'd still be strong thick cardboard boxes - your tape would be your weak link).

Anyone want any?
