Leave A Gift. Build Your Legacy. Change The Future For Sick Kids

MAKE YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION COUNT …

Some people make a New Year’s resolution to begin something new, change a habit, or perhaps reignite a passion. But for the thousands of parents of sick kids, they just want the new year to bring their little ones good health and laughter.

Parents like Erica and Tom hope for a day when their little Ella will not have to wear bandages to protect her skin from everyday life. Ella was born with a rare and severe skin condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), making her skin appear as fragile as butterfly wings. A genetic disorder that leaves her skin extremely sensitive, making her daily life painful.

Ella’s Mum Erica recalls, “I was afraid to pick her up at first if I’m being honest”. “After a textbook pregnancy and a planned caesarean section, Ella was not born a perfectly healthy baby as we expected. Born with EB, Ella had skin missing from her right knee and both feet.”

EB is a lifelong condition that needs constant care. All parents know their children’s cry – a hungry cry, a tired cry, I want a cuddle cry. For Ella’s parents, they have also had to learn the pain cry. For now, this is the only way Ella can tell them she has a new blister that needs careful wound care.

Kids like Ella will need support throughout their lifetime and a very considered way to help is by leaving a gift in your Will to Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation (SCHF).

By leaving a gift in a Will to SCHF you will create a legacy of hope and healing for sick kids – supporting research, equipment and SCHF’s mission to deliver the best healthcare available to kids across NSW and beyond.

This year, make your New Year’s resolution count by leaving a gift that builds a legacy and changes the future for sick kids. As little as 5% can make an impact and help little kids like Ella with rare and lifelong conditions.
