Wishing Tree Appeal

Make a donation

Send a powerful message of care and compassion to children and young people this festive season.

At OzChild, we believe every child deserves to experience the joy of the holiday season. Unfortunately, for many children and families in our community, this time of year can be challenging due to financial hardship or other difficult circumstances.

Every year OzChild supports more than 1,000 children and young people in foster or kinship care and many more children and families who participate in our family preservation and reunification programs.

Your generous support will allow us to relieve the pressure of financial hardship that is felt by so many at Christmas time and make the children and young people who receive the gifts feel special and loved.

Make a donation to the OzChild Wishing Tree appeal to ensure all children and young people feel the joy of Christmas!
