“We’re still going through grief every day.”

Annabelle was just three years old when she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Her parents, Kathie and Adam, were told she might only have nine months to live. Against all odds, Annabelle lived for two more years—years filled with love, laughter, and heartbreaking challenges.

During that time, Redkite was there. Thanks to generous donors like you, Kathie and Adam received financial assistance and practical support. They were able to stay by Annabelle’s side, create precious memories, and give her a final Christmas filled with joy and giving—just as she wanted.

Now, seven years later, Kathie still grieves every day. But she’s forever grateful for the kindness of strangers who helped her family hold on through the darkest days.

This Christmas, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000.
Please give today to help another family survive the trauma of losing a child to cancer.

Any donation before 31 December will be matched dollar for dollar by MPA, up to a total of $50,000

Your donation today will make twice the difference to families facing childhood cancer.

Thank you for your generosity and support of children with cancer!
