As part of the Herald's new series, 'How we make it work', Justine and Bill from Taranaki share their story of an instant bond, a son who healed them, and a phone call that could have bankrupted them. The couple, who had three weddings, met when neither had much—Justine was working three jobs.
Their love story is intertwined with long Covid, which affected Bill. The phone call that could have bankrupted them involved a significant financial scare, though specific details were not independently verified. Their son played a key role in their healing process.
The couple's journey highlights resilience and the challenges of managing health and finances in a relationship. The Herald series aims to explore diverse relationship dynamics in New Zealand.
