Wishing Tree Appeal

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 1,500 children and young people in foster or kinship care or who are involved 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 to ensure all children and young people feel the joy of Christmas!
