Do you remember little Elkie, who featured in our recent Appeal? Your response to the story of Elkie and her family was so wonderful, Elkie’s mum, Lucy wanted to pass on a special message of thanks.

“Sharing Elkie’s story was very important to us as a family. We want everyone to know that Elkie’s life has been changed by donors and Vision Australia. In that first year, we really had no other support. Vision Australia got us through, and early intervention has given her the head start she needed.

“The response from donors, sending so many cards and well wishes to us, was just amazing. We are grateful that so many people care about our little girl and her future.”

Thank you for helping children like Elkie access the early intervention support they need to learn, communicate and thrive.
