Parents Karin and Steve know all too well the stress and trauma that comes with a craniofacial deformity. Their son Jacob was born premature, underweight, and then diagnosed with Craniosynostosis.
“It wasn’t easy to see Jacob go through his journey with craniofacial surgeries and what he had to endure. It was hard to see the pain and suffering. However, Jacob has had the best people looking after him. As tough as it was, we knew that Jacob was going to come out the other side healthy and able as he did.”
People just like Jacob need your support. Please, will you give $25 this tax time?
As little as $25 can give the gift of hope
Your past generosity has helped fund crucial services like:
- Financial assistance to over 10 families, to the value of over $35,000
- A Family Support Coordinator. Claire ensures that families are looked after and supported from the time of diagnosis, and throughout their journey
- 50 care packs, 43% more compared to the previous financial year
- $75,000 in Patient Support, including financial assistance and care packs
- $200,000 into research grants
- A medical fellowship in the UK and continued our online training program for Indonesian surgeons, to the value of over $96,000
These programs are life-changing. For you, our supportive community, giving the gift of hope is pretty special.
That’s why we ask you today: please will you give a gift of $25 or more for our Tax Appeal?

“It has been a very challenging journey. I have spent a lot of time in and out of hospital, on a feeding tube, home oxygen, experienced developmental delays, hearing impairment, other medical issues and learning difficulties. I am now 18 years old and have been through so much. I have overcome a lot of obstacles in my life.”
