Darcy's Urgent Wish

Because 5-year-old Darcy is non-verbal, he feels happiest around four-legged friends.

But due to his various medical conditions—including his fast-deteriorating lungs—Darcy's wish ‘to visit the world-famous Taronga Zoo with his family’ became urgent.

And it’s thanks to generous supporters like you, that his wish came true!

Darcy was so happy when he fed the giraffes...We literally say every day that we can’t believe we got to experience this special trip as a family.

Jacinta, Darcy’s mum

Urgent wishes depend on you

If Darcy’s wish hadn’t happened at that very moment, it might not have happened at all.

Right now, there are 72 children who need an urgent wish. Working so quickly means urgent wishes require more money, and more resources, at short notice. Every effort is made to make the wish as unique and special as possible for the child and their family.

But this can only happen with your support – that's why we are asking for your help to make more urgent wishes come true.
