These books tell a very special story đź’›
Inspired by Ellie, an incredibly smart and kind four year old with a whole lot of sass, this beautiful children’s book `Where`s Ellie`s Hair?` follows a brave little girl who loses her hair while going through chemotherapy.
Created to help children facing cancer treatment, as well as their friends and siblings, the story helps make moments that can feel scary a little easier to understand.
On World Cancer Day, we’re reminded of the power of stories like this to bring comfort and hope to children and families navigating cancer.
Thank you to @forellie.aus for donating these books all the way from Queensland! They’ll be shared with families at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital here in South Australia.

Tube feeding can be a vital part of a child’s health journey, helping them grow, recover, and thrive. Children may need it for a range of health reasons, including prematurity, congenital conditions, neurodevelopmental disabilities, chronic illness, or recovery after surgery.
For families, learning their child needs tube feeding can be confronting, especially when tube feeding is often misunderstood or negatively portrayed in broader culture. This can contribute to stigma and a sense of isolation, even in healthcare settings.
This Feeding Tube Awareness Week, we acknowledge the courage of these children, the love and resilience of their families, and the care that supports them every day. Through awareness and understanding, we can help children thrive and ensure every family feels seen, supported, and included. đź’›
A Neopuff resuscitation device plays a vital role in helping newborn babies who need support with breathing in their first moments of life.
Used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), this specialised equipment provides gentle, controlled respiratory support, giving our tiniest patients the best possible start.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to fund this essential equipment, which continues to make a difference for babies and families at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
To support life-changing care and equipment, visit the link in our bio to donate today đź’›
