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.

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.​​​​​​​

For nine months, Nevaeh hardly left hospital. She had endless rounds of chemo therapy and suffered painful side effects.

Thankfully the family had a Leukaemia Foundation apartment, so they could all stay together - including Grandma Joan.
The strength of the family saw Nevaeh through. She's now making a good recovery. But children like her need your help.
