Support for kids like EJ

At just two-years-old, EJ was rushed from his home in Warwick to Queensland Children's Hospital to treat a tumor found inside his spinal cord.

EJ lived in hospital for two months, including most of December, a time many families spend preparing for Christmas and enjoying family traditions.

Living in hospital during the festive season was incredibly emotional. While other families were decorating their homes and making plans, his family was focused on getting their little boy through his recovery.

Your support can help bring comfort, joy and laughter to sick kids and their families this Christmas.

Where your dollar goes

When you donate to us, we are transparent about where your money goes.

For every dollar donated 64 cents goes straight to impact like research, equipment and support for patients and families.

10 cents goes towards our future fund. This future fund allows us to make big multi-year commitments to areas of vital importance like immunotherapy, brain cancer and cystic fibrosis.

The last 26 cents goes towards operating expenses and cost of fundraising allowing us to generate more income and operate with good governance.

Thanks to you, we can be the difference that matters, and the difference that shapes their world.

The power to be the difference every kid deserves sits with the donors, supporters and partners ready and willing to stand up and join us.

Together we can create a future where gaps in funding grow smaller, not bigger, where more lives are saved, more lifetimes are made and world-class is for all, not just for some.

This future is within our grasp, but only if we face it together.
