When two-year-old Lexi was diagnosed with cancer her mum and dad said it felt like ‘the world had been ripped away from us.’
Lexi had a cancerous tumour on her kidney that had ruptured and spread to her lungs.
During Lexi’s agonising time in hospital having chemo and major surgery, your regular support made a positive impact day after day.
Thanks to your ongoing support, Lexi had Captain Starlight and the Starlight Express Room filled with games, arts and crafts to have fun and be distracted from the pain and sadness of hospital.
Having fun with the games & activities (especially the fishing game!) gave Lexi back the childhood happiness her diagnosis had taken away.
“It’s not ‘going to the hospital’, it’s ‘going to the Starlight Room’ for Lexi!” her dad Evan said.
Seriously ill children need happiness every day.
Sadly, serious illness impacts kids every minute of every day which is why your monthly gift is vital to create happiness day after day.
You can help create EXTRA happiness for sick kids by increasing your monthly giving.
Adding $10 per month will create even more happiness for sick kids in hospital by helping to refill the Starlight Express Room with much-needed games, arts and crafts.
“Your support has a real material impact. Being in the Starlight Express Room, you can see where your donations go.” Evan, Lexi’s dad.
Thank you for all you do to bring happiness to sick kids day after day. See your impact here as Lexi’s dad shares their story
