Mummy's Wish Appeal

Mummy's Wish is a registered not-for-profit charity supporting mothers diagnosed with cancer, while either pregnant or already with young children.

Mummy's Wish is a personalised support service for mums and aims to ease the burden of cancer diagnosis on mums by supporting them in a variety of ways:

• All mums receive a "treat bag" of goodies to brighten their day. Some of these gifts are purely practical, like a notepad to help with memory loss, a common side-effect from chemotherapy. However, most of the treats are just to make the mums feel good, like a nice new toiletries bag to use in hospital, or a magazine to read. Being diagnosed with cancer when pregnant or caring for a young family is devastating and the treat bags can add a little sunshine at an otherwise bleak time.
• Assistance with referrals to and information on other services and support available.
• Help with organising and funding practical help, like babysitting, house-cleaning or parking while in hospital.
• Lending laptops to mums for use while they are undergoing treatment in hospital.
• Putting them in contact with companies that agree to support the mums by offering free services, such as family portraits prior to treatment.

Some examples of the difference your money can make include:

• $20 - hospital parking vouchers for treatment days
• $50 - a teddy bear with a voice recording box for the children to listen to their mums voice
• $75 - one fortnight's house cleaning
• $200 - 1-2 weeks of groceries
• $500 - a laptop with a webcam and internet access for a mum to see her children while she is in hospital
