Help families through their grief this Christmas
Christmas can be a distressing time for families who have lost a child to cancer. Thanks to many generous supporters Redkite can be there for families for as long as they need us.
Donate today to help grieving families cope this Christmas.
Tianna’s beloved daughter Billie was sick for just three days before she died from cancer.
While mum Tianna, and dad Daniel tried to come to grips with their awful, sudden loss, a social worker at the hospital reached out to Redkite on their behalf.
“We didn’t even know Redkite existed until Billie,” Tianna says. “And then the social worker called to say Redkite were going to help pay for the funeral.”
The kindness of people like you and other in the Redkite community came through. It meant Daniel could take a bit longer off work, and both parents were there to love Billie’s sister Arbree through the worst time of her young life.
“The financial support from Redkite meant we didn’t need to worry about bills and groceries. It just allowed us to be together while we tried to get through it.” Tianna shared
I need your help to make sure Redkite can be there for Arbree, Tianna, Daniel and other grieving families through the festive season, and for as long as they need us.
Your gift to Redkite’s grief support services could help:
- Fund counselling and emotional support for grieving families for as long as they need it.
- Provide financial support so grieving parents don’t have to rush immediately back to work to pay the bills.
- Cover the cost of a funeral so families can afford to say the hardest goodbye to their child.
Note: Christmas can be a distressing time for families who have lost a child to cancer. If you, or someone you know, has been impacted by childhood cancer, please reach out to us for support. We are here for families for as long as they need us.
