The most SPECIAL day of the year is back!


Cue the fireworks, pump up the balloons, and roll out the red carpet. Tuesday 16 September, is your time to shine.


Because for ONE day only, you have the chance to DOUBLE your impact for seriously sick kids!


For 24 hours only, generous matching partners will double every donation to ensure the doors to Very Special Kids House can always remain open, providing vital 24-hour paediatric palliative care for seriously ill kids and their families.


But remember—this magical moment lasts for just 24 HOURS!

Your help couldn’t come at a better time. Not only because we are celebrating Very Special Kids’ 40th anniversary, but also because we are experiencing an unprecedented 65% increase in the number of referrals from families in need of support!


Right now, your gift can help ensure Victoria’s only children’s hospice can always ready to provide life-changing 24-hour paediatric palliative care, for families and children like Sophia, Lachie, and Damien & Dominic 🏠💕

We'll email your tax receipt and donation details

Your donation is secure and protected.

💕 You can be a life-saver for ...

Babies like Sophia!


Baby Sophia was born with a rare genetic condition and needed assistance breathing. In addition, her mum Zoe, was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer shortly after giving birth.


Very Special Kids House became a crucial space for Sophia’s parents to learn practical skills and build confidence in caring for Sophia outside the hospital.

Kids like Lachie!


Lachlan has a rare degenerative condition that will continue to attack his central nervous system as he grows. Despite that, he’s a happy and determined boy who walks using a frame.


The Very Special Kids road to respite van can pick Lachlan up for respite care at the children’s hospice, where Lachlan loves his music and hydrotherapy.

Twins like Damien & Dominic!


When Katy and Maurice learned their twin boys had the same rare and life-limiting condition—spinal muscular atrophy—they turned to Very Special Kids as a second family.

 

As Damien & Dominic lose the ability to sit up or breathe on their own, your support means they can continue to live their fullest lives.

💖 Please DOUBLE your impact now for 24-hour paediatric palliative care and give generously today! 🧸
