The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne offers an in-home nursing service to assist families of children with complex and chronic medical care needs to be cared for at home with their family.

This is a paid service and since January 2011 we’ve funded $9,990 worth of nursing care for IGAB kids – including $700 last week for 2 year old ‘Carl’ while he battles a brain tumour.  Carl isn’t this little boy’s real name but the family has asked us to use an alias for privacy reasons – something we are always happy to do for our families.

We are able to provide this much needed support, for some very special families, through the generosity of some of our grant providers, including:  Australian Unity, Grosvenor Foundation and Australian Ethical Super & Investment – as well as your General Donations – so keep them coming! Australian children’s charity I Give A Buck Foundation of Australia Ltd assists children from disadvantaged families who also suffer from a life-threatening or life-altering illness or condition – with particular focus on terminally ill children.
