Meet kind, creative George

Your support will bring double the happiness to seriously ill children like George.

At just 10-months old, George endured open heart surgery and spent over 110 days in critical care.

Hospital consumed the family's world, and every waking moment was filled with fear and worry.

During their darkest times, your support ensured Starlight was there with the happiness George and his family needed.

George's mum Alinta said, "Being stuck in a hospital room with a sick child, you feel abnormal. As soon as you go into the Starlight Express Room it's a happy, welcoming sanctuary where you can take a break from the hectic demands of the medial world."

For a limited time only, your gift will be DOUBLED*

Every dollar you donate, Starlight's generous matching donors will match it dollar for dollar ensuring more sick kids like George have the fun and play of Captain Starlight and the Starlight Express Room every time they're in hospital.

Alinta is so thankful for your support bringing light to the darkest times and helping her family "feel normal again".

*Your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar until 23:59 AEST on Thursday, April 17, 2025, or until a total of $25,000 in matching funds has been reached, whichever occurs first.
