Since 1983, Koru Care has been
working to bring a little bit of joy into
the lives of children with terminal illness
or permanent disabilities. During those years,
we have helped more than 10,000 young people
and their families. Sometimes we help by whisking
children away from their less-than-perfect
lives for a few days, to a fantasy destination
far, far away. Other times we provide practical
assistance, such as educational
Koru Care is a registered charitable trust.
Our team work for no financial reward, donating
time and expertise to make dreams come true
for children who have drawn the short straw.
In making dreams come true for sick and disabled
children, we're also helping their families.
Often, an injection of enjoyment helps to
change a child's outlook, which can improve
day-to-day life for their family and friends.
Koru Care is particularly well known for delivering
dreams in the form of memorable overseas trips.
Disneyland, Europe and London are some of
the dream destinations that we have focused
on in the past. More recently, we've added
dreams that are closer to home, such as the
Gold Coast and local theatre productions,
because some children aren't well enough for
long distance air travel.
The children who have benefited from Koru
Care's help, and those who will benefit in
the future, are chosen because we're their
only chance of having a wish come true. For
those with a real need, we make sure dreams
become reality.
