Since 2001 the Leila Rose Foundation (LRF) has been providing emotional and financial support for families in crisis following a rare childhood cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, the Foundation only has funding to support some 50 families per year, whereas over 300 families Australia wide need our urgent help.

Here is an example of our work as explained by Harper's mother:

"Our lives became all about survival, living each day as it came and getting through every obstacle as it came.

We are so so grateful for Leila Rose and the huge assistance they offered with helping us pay our bills during a time that is every parent’s worst nightmare and work is just not a possibility.

This assistance meant so much to us- it meant we could afford to still have our home to go back to at the end of treatment to celebrate Christmas as a family. It meant that we did not need to worry about phone bills and electricity bills. And it meant one less stress for us during the most stressful time of our lives".
