Why your support matters

Families facing childhood cancer are already dealing with an unimaginable emotional toll, and financial stress only compounds their struggle. Your donation will ensure they receive the support they need.

When Le-Anne’s vibrant, sporty nine-year-old son Tommy started gasping for breath, she knew something was terribly wrong. After countless doctor visits and misdiagnoses, an X-ray revealed her worst fear: a massive tumor was crushing Tommy’s lungs. From that moment, their lives were consumed by cancer.

As a sole parent, Le-Anne was left to navigate the unthinkable alone. Tommy’s treatment was intense—weekly lumbar punctures, endless chemotherapy, and terrifying close calls. The emotional strain was unbearable, and the financial burden quickly became overwhelming when Le-Anne lost her job. She feared not only for Tommy’s life but for how they would survive.

“Every day, I felt like I was walking a tightrope,” Le-Anne recalls.

“I was terrified of losing him, and the stress of trying to keep us afloat financially was crushing. Redkite was a lifeline.”

Tommy still has a long road ahead, but Le-Anne remains strong for him, knowing she has support from Redkite and generous people like you.

For families facing childhood cancer, your donation is more than just financial relief—it’s a lifeline, a sign that they aren’t alone in their struggle.

Please make a donation before 31 December, and your gift will provide support for essential needs like food, rent, and bills—so mums like Le-Anne can focus on their child.
