Living with illness or injury can cause enormous strain in the lives of children and their families. The pain, loneliness and isolation that sick children feel can dominate their lives, and they often miss out on the normal experiences healthy children take for granted. Physical recovery is only part of the solution. Starlight’s innovative programs are designed to make children happy and lift their spirits when they need it most.
Each year there are over 600,000 child admissions to hospitals throughout Australia. Although Starlight only reaches ‘1 in 3’ of these children, our ultimate goal is to give each and every seriously ill child access to our programs and the magic of Starlight.
But we can’t do it without your help. On Sunday 18 October, Starlight volunteers will be rattling tins and selling merchandise at Little Nippers Festival. There will also be a special performance by Captain Starlight. Please give generously so that we can continue to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families in WA.
