The Hickman whānau embraced intergenerational living by pooling resources to buy a home together. Bill, Jess, and their baby joined Bill's mum, Ginny, to purchase a two-flat home in Wellington they found on Trade Me Property.
This creative solution provided mutual financial and physical support after Ginny fell ill and the young family needed more space. Their new arrangement offers the perfect balance of family closeness and personal privacy, creating a supportive environment for everyone.
