It’s unfair beyond words for anyone to be diagnosed with blood cancer. 

The burden can be unbearably heavy.   But no one should ever have to face the added burden of finding it hard to access medical care – because they’re from a regional or country area. 

When Annie was two and a half, she was diagnosed with blood cancer – and her happy outdoor childhood in regional Victoria was turned upside down. 

Please will you give today, so all families can get the best treatment, the best care and the best outcomes – wherever they live?

The lifesaving treatment and care Annie needed was in a city hundreds of kilometres away. Her family had to relocate in an instant, leaving home, family support and jobs behind. At this stressful time, they needed somewhere to stay near hospital, so Annie could access treatment.

Please will you help ease the burden for families from regional areas, by giving them a place to stay near hospital during treatment?

Thankfully Annie and her family were able to stay in Leukaemia Foundation accommodation, which also meant they could spend Christmas together – while Annie had the treatment she needed to save her life. But without support, families like hers can struggle to access the best medical care.

It’s deeply unfair that treatment, care and outcomes can be decided by where you live. Please give a gift today, so all families can have a fair chance of beating blood cancer.

At age 14, Siobhan was told that she had blood cancer –she was overwhelmed with big emotions.

Siobhan was terrified about what the future held. She felt waves of anger and sadness. She even felt embarrassed and ashamed, because her treatment made her hair fall out and her body change beyond recognition.

There are so many thoughts and feelings for people to process after their diagnosis. Today, you can make sure that they don’t have to struggle alone.

Please will you give a gift, so people like Siobhan can have support to cope with the big emotions of blood cancer – whether they’re feeling ashamed about their illness or fearful about their future?

Siobhan’s diagnosis left her in a dark place – literally. “I just wanted to stay in my room with the curtains closed,” she says. “But then I started speaking to Maryanne, my Blood Cancer Support Coordinator.”

These health professionals are specially trained to offer emotional support – but they can only be there with your help.

“Without Maryanne, I would have been in a much worse mental state,” continues Siobhan. “She helped me process my emotions, so I no longer felt ashamed and I started feeling much more positive about the future.”

More funds are urgently needed for Blood Cancer Support Coordinators, so please will you give a gift now? You can help people like Siobhan navigate the big emotions of blood cancer – and find their way to a bright future beyond.

Annie’s family had to travel hundreds of kilometres to access lifesaving treatment. But thanks to the Leukaemia Foundation accommodation, they had somewhere to stay – for free.

Annie has twin siblings, who stayed back home in regional Victoria. But the apartment meant that they could visit for Christmas – so the whole family spent this special time together.

Annie is now back to her busy, bubbly and bright self. Please will you give a gift, so all families can get the best treatment, the best care and the best outcomes – wherever they live?
