Take childhood off hold for kids like Zayn

Childhood is a precious time that should be filled with laughter, play and joyful memories. But for the many children being cared for by Sydney Children's Hospitals Network (SCHN), illness or injury has put their childhood on hold.

Today, your generosity can change that.

Your tax-deductible donation can help provide the life-saving treatments, expert care and support services that give sick kids the best chance to heal, grow and press play on their childhood.

Together, we can help give sick kids the best possible outcomes.

Don't wait - donate now and change the future for sick kids.

Meet Zayn

At just three years old, Zayn has already spent more than 500 days in hospital, his childhood on hold as he fought to stay alive. Born with a rare liver condition, Zayn received a life-saving liver transplant, but devastating complications led to kidney failure and the need for a second transplant.

Thanks to the expert care of his medical team at The Children's Hospital at Westmead (CHW), Zayn defied the odds and was finally able to leave hospital and celebrate his third birthday at home with his family.

CHW is home to the largest dedicated transplant unit for children in Australia, caring for young patients like Zayn from across the country.

You can change the future for kids like Zayn and for generations of children to come.
