Give the gift of freedom

Imagine a child needing vital antibody infusions, confined to a hospital bed or tethered to a bulky IV stand for days or even a week. This is the reality for many young patients battling illnesses that require these life-saving treatments.
But there's a simple way to bring a sense of normalcy and freedom back into their lives: specialised backpacks designed to hold their portable infusion pumps.
These backpacks allow children to:

• Move around freely: No more being tied to a stand or confined to a bed. They can play, read, and interact with others more easily.
• Return home sooner: The backpack allows them to continue treatment in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by loved ones.
• Maintain a sense of childhood: They can carry their treatment with them, just like any other backpack, reducing the stigma and stress associated with their condition.

Your generous donation will help us provide these backpacks to children in need. Even a small amount can make a big difference in a child's life.
