Who are the Koru Care Kids?

The children that come to Koru Care asking for help have been betrayed by their bodies. In some cases they have cancer, kidney disease or heart problems, in other cases they've lost the use of limbs or have serious congenital abnormalities. But they still have the capacity to smile, laugh and create good memories; they just need someone to wave a magic wand.

For a child with major challenges in their lives, every day is a round of personal invasions. Their life is in the hands of medical professionals, family members and caregivers. For these children independence is just a dream. Others are constantly monitoring what they eat, what medicines they take and what their bodies are doing. It's likely they have plenty of time to dream, and wish and hope. But it's also likely that their family’s financial circumstances and extreme care requirement will always stand in the way of making their dreams come true.

Just knowing that something wonderful is going to happen is enough to make a difference. Suddenly, a child that couldn't see past the daily routine of illness or disability can see all the way to Disneyland or the Gold Coast. Often their health will improve, even if the long term forecast isn't good. The mind is a powerful thing, when it can glimpse light at the end of the tunnel.
