Redkite is on her side
After two-year-old Zoe was diagnosed with cancer, Redkite provided Sussannah’s family with financial and emotional support throughout years of treatment
Zoe was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two, after her mum Sussanah noticed her left eye had an unusual bulge.
“I looked up at her face... and her eyes just didn’t look right. I just knew that it wasn’t right.”
At the time of diagnosis, Zoe’s little sister Nicola was only six months old. The family’s life became a blur of hospital stays, medical procedures, and the constant fear of what the future might hold for Zoe.
“Although the initial treatment may have been over in 18 months, it was five years of intense follow up surveillance. The road is very long.”
During all this time, Redkite supported Sussanah, her husband James and their daughters with financial and counselling support.
“Redkite is there, they are on your side and in your corner. It's a source of assistance and it's a source of help.”
Redkite continues to support families across Australia facing childhood cancer.
In the first half of 2024, Redkite supported approximately 1,495 families and 1,945 individuals with our full range of support services.
Over 1500 individuals were supported with information, support, and counselling services, with 423 individuals receiving counselling services.
The generous support received from i=Change and their brand partners enable Redkite to ensure these families have support from day one.
