Jess had so many dreams about who she might become. From swimming for Australia to even becoming a “Space Girl,” in her world anything felt possible.
When her family welcomed their dog, Daisy, Jess fell completely in love and a new dream took shape. She wanted to become a vet, dedicating her life to caring for animals just like Daisy.
Jess had a future full of possibility. But a rare brain cancer called DIPG took that away.
She never got the chance to grow up.

In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, the Music for Wellness program is providing gentle, meaningful care to some of the hospital’s most vulnerable patients. Through live harp performances by certified healthcare musician Ilona, premature babies are experiencing calmer environments that can help stabilise heart rates, improve sleep, and support feeding and growth.
Supported by the WCH Foundation, this program is designed to complement clinical care, creating a more soothing and supportive experience for babies, their families, and the staff who care for them.
This is the difference your support makes, improving environments for our smallest patients and supporting better outcomes for families 🎶💛
