Will you help families like Isaac's to tackle the trauma and financial burdens of childhood cancer?
“We were surviving from day to day. It was all we could do.” Marina, Isaac’s mum.
Marina had to leave her job to care for him full-time, while her partner William continued working and looked after their daughter, Maddy.
But with only one income, the financial pressure quickly became overwhelming.
Donate before 30 June to help care for families like Marina's.
Thanks to a generous longtime Redkite supporter, your donation before 30 June 2025 will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000.

“We were surviving from day to day. It was all we could do.”
When Marina’s three-year-old son, Isaac, was diagnosed with leukaemia, her world stopped. Overnight, life became about survival emotionally, physically, and financially.
Like so many parents of children with cancer, Marina had to stop working to care for Isaac full-time. Her family quickly went from budgeting for the future to scraping by week to week. Essentials like food, fuel, and bills became overwhelming burdens — all while facing the fear of losing their child.
Your donation today will provide vital financial relief to another family facing the trauma of childhood cancer.
Right now, more families than ever are reaching out to Redkite for help. They’re down to one or no income, while trying to care for a sick child. Some are missing meals or facing disconnection notices on their homes.
Will you make an urgent, tax-deductible donation before 30 June to ease their financial burdens and trauma of childhood cancer?
Because no family should have to choose between paying a bill and caring for their child.
