Please Donate to Very Special Kids

Please give this Christmas so families like Eve’s aren’t left to face a life-limiting illness alone.

When Eve was born, she wasn’t breathing. Doctors and nurses were frantically trying to save her life. Every second that went by in that delivery room was excruciating for Eve’s mum and dad, Georgie and Shaun, as they watched their newborn baby fighting for her life. Her doctors didn’t know if she would survive the night.

Georgie said, “We went from crying with happiness when Eve was born to tears of dread and fear when she couldn’t breathe minutes later. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so helpless in my life. It felt like our world was crumbling.”

What could be worse than fearing your child’s life may soon be cut short?

There is no better help you can give a family like Eve’s than your support.

This Christmas, please make a special Christmas gift to offer vital care at every stage, from counselling to respite care.

Eve was able to go home at two months old. Her condition hasn’t changed, and she remains on oxygen 24/7. Eve’s family live with the grief of an uncertain future. They don’t know if this Christmas will be their last together.

Your support this Christmas will help a family like Eve’s at every stage of their journey with a life-limiting illness.

Will you help show more families like Eve’s that they’re not alone this Christmas?

Give $30

Your gift could help parents have regular counselling with a Family Support Practitioner.

Being the parent of a child with a life-limiting illness is extremely tough. Counselling can help parents find the strength to keep going and making happy memories.

Give $50

Your gift could help cover the cost for a child to have their first night of respite care.

Our children’s hospice is not only packed full of fun activities for kids to enjoy, but may well be the first time a family can have a moment’s break from the relentless worry about complex needs they carry on their shoulders.

Give $100

Your gift could help provide a family with the opportunity to go away for a special trip—which they may not otherwise get to do, especially for Christmas.

Visiting the specialised accommodation at Glen Osmond Farm, free-of-charge, is the only time many families can enjoy a real holiday knowing they have everything they need to care for their child.

As Victoria’s only children’s hospice, Very Special Kids provide holistic services to more than 850 families across Victoria. We welcome people of all backgrounds and respects that the families we support are different in many ways including country of birth, ethnicity, culture, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, religion, and ability.

Very Special Kids is proud to display the Registered Charity Tick to highlight our charitable status through The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission’s Charity Register.
