A very merry festive season
November 20, 2024
The festive season is just around the corner and our very special community is hosting an array of festive fundraising activities! Here are a few ways you can support Very Special Kids this Christmas:
Very Special Christmas lights
Very soon, many houses across the state will be adorned with Christmas lights to fundraise for Very Special Kids.
If you are starting to decorate and want to light up your house for seriously ill kids, there is still time to get involved.

Support our Christmas Appeal
This Christmas, we have the joy of sharing five-year-old Nishan’s story.
Nishan has KCNQ5 encephalopathy, a rare and life-limiting neurodevelopmental disorder that affects just three known children in the world. Sadly, there is no cure for Nishan’s condition and experts have no proven treatment plan.
Nishan needs round-the-clock care and is often in hospital.
We try to make every day Christmas Day for Nishan because we don’t know if he will be with us tomorrow.
– Sam, Nishan’s mum
