The Essentials for an Unexpected Hospital Stay

Just imagine… A trip to the GP with your daughter ends up with tests at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital; these tests then result in the news that no parent wants to hear, “Your child has cancer”.

Your daughter is admitted immediately for further tests and treatment - you do not have time to go home, or perhaps home is too far away.

Sadly, this is a common scenario for families who have a child diagnosed with cancer.

The Childhood Cancer Association is there from the very beginning to provide families with the support they need every step of the way – which also includes gifting a Hospital Support Pack.

This pack includes practical, essential items for the whole family such as an overnight bag, toiletries, a diary compendium, digital thermometer, a bedside game, plus some Coles Myer vouchers for the extra necessities.

Additionally, the sick child will be given Elliot the dog, our mascot and a friend to have by their side throughout their journey.

With your generous donation, we can ensure every family has the essentials from the very beginning.
