When Nevaeh was diagnosed with a vicious type of blood cancer at just six years old, she asked her mum Bree, “is it worse than chickenpox?”
Bree thought, “yes, it’s worse… it’s the fight of our lives.” And to face that fight, it takes the strength of a whole family.
Please will you give a gift today, so families like Nevaeh’s can stay together in Leukaemia Foundation accommodation near hospital during treatment?
Nevaeh and her family had to leave home to access lifesaving treatment in Brisbane.
If her family didn’t find a place to live in the city during Nevaeh’s treatment, how could they stay together? How could they draw strength from each other, for the fight of their lives?
Without a place to stay near hospital, families can find it difficult to access treatment - it's one of the reasons people from rural areas are less likely to survive their blood cancer. Thanks to the postcode lottery, you're 13% less likely to survive blood cancer depending on where you live.
Please give now, so families don’t have to worry about where to stay. Thanks to you, they could support each other and put all their strength into battling blood cancer.
