Please make your tax-deductible gift before 30 June. Together, we can make sure no child misses out.

Right now, many families across NSW and the ACT are feeling the pressure of rising living costs. For those caring for a child who is sick or living with a disability, everyday decisions can become impossible – choosing between groceries or therapy, fuel or essential equipment, rent or learning resources.

At the same time, fuel and supply challenges have impacted Variety’s motoring events, creating a funding gap of more than $1 million in vital funding for children in need.

Without urgent action, our critical grants and programs will be placed on hold—delaying access to equipment, therapy and opportunities when they’re needed most. And children cannot afford to wait.

Behind every request for support is a child that can't afford to wait.

Your gift today can help ensure no child misses out.

Olivia

Three-year-old Olivia cannot safely travel in a standard car seat and requires constant support. Without specialised equipment, even short trips are unsafe—limiting access to therapy and essential appointments. A suitable car seat is urgently needed to keep Olivia safe and connected to care.

Sam

Seven-year-old Sam loves soccer but can’t keep up due to physical challenges. Without urgent physiotherapy, his mobility and confidence will continue to decline. Early intervention is critical to help him build strength, keep up with peers and prevent long-term setbacks.

Taylor

Fourteen-year-old Taylor, in out-of-home care, is at real risk of disengaging from school without a reliable laptop. Right now, he can’t keep up with assignments. Without immediate support, the gap will only widen—putting his education and future at risk.

Olivia, Sam and Taylor are just some of the children now waiting for support. Can you help us reach them – and others like them – before it’s too late?
