The mental health hotline Lifeline turns 60 this year and they say financial pressure has never been greater.
Lifeline counsellors are on standby around the clock, answering around 8000 calls a month from New Zealanders in distress or at risk of suicide.
But without government funding to stay steady, Lifeline needs a lifeline of its own.
