Redkite supports families facing childhood cancer

Every day in Australia, three families are changed forever because of childhood cancer. By supporting Redkite you will be providing a guiding hand when all seems lost, a steady support when the world is spinning around them and a comforting voice when they need someone to talk to.

For 40 years, we’ve been helping families hold it together when their child has cancer. Redkite is there with real emotional, financial, and practical support for families who have a child with cancer (aged 18 and under). This includes counselling, help with bills, fuel and food, music therapy, support with grief and bereavement and our Red Bag full of practical items and love. Because holding it together when your child’s life is in question can feel impossible.
