Why help?

Thousands of special Queensland kids need help each year.

Bailey's story...

Bailey has a rare muscle wasting disease for which there is no known cure. His treatment regime is constant – on a daily basis he endures physio, massage, respiratory exercises, positioning, tube feeds through his stomach and countless doctor’s appointments.

Raising a child with a disability is challenging, heartbreaking and rewarding. We’re on call 24 hours a day. It’s constant, demanding and down right hard work. It’s also expensive. In our home, Bailey relies on a vast array of medical equipment worth nearly $100,000, just to get him through each day!

Some days I wonder how we make it all work. I’d have never made it through if it wasn’t for the wonderful people around me.... and Variety, the children’s charity.

Variety first came to our aid when Bailey was just 9 months old. He needed a standing frame and Variety made it happen. Variety has been supporting Bailey ever since, as well as more than 6000 kids throughout Queensland who are sick, disabled or disadvantaged.

Now Variety needs your help again.

Friday 27 November is Variety Friday and Variety's friends at Macquarie Southern Cross will be helping to spread the word through their radio stations and Southern Cross Ten.

You can donate via 1300 4 VARIETY, online at Varietyqld.org.au or by creating your own Variety Friday event....dress down, run a raffle or have a BBQ! It's up to you and remember, every bit helps!

Thanks for helping Variety,
