Essential Support Through COVD-19
$ 100.00
Due to the challenges of COVID-19 we need extra support to care for the children in our program.

Over the past few weeks we have carefully followed the advice given by authorities to keep our children, staff, volunteers and community safe. Where safe and possible those children and carers who were able to do so were returned to their homes a few weeks ago.

We do however have 10 residents still in our care at the Retreat. These children are all currently on their treatment journeys. Whilst they don't require any regular medical care (aside from the daily physio given by our team) they are all wearing plasters, braces or other orthopaedic devices that mean they cannot travel. The best place for them at this time is at the Retreat with us. 

It costs us approximately $81 per child, per day to run our program. In the past few weeks alone we have needed to cancel 2 significant fundraising events which will have a substantial impact on our income. We have seen food donations drop as supermarket stocks run low. We have lost most of our regular volunteers as they need to self isolate given they in the demographic that is at high risk.

COVID-19 restrictions have left us without food, volunteers and income but not without children to care for. Your support now will enable us to maintain care standards for our children, fair salaries for our staff and a future for our program
