Help us be there for kids when mum has cancer
We make children feel comforted, supported and close to mum through every stage of her cancer experience.
About Mummy's Wish
When a mum is diagnosed with cancer, her greatest wish is for her children’s wellbeing.
We help fulfill that wish by ensuring every child feels comforted, supported and close to mum through every stage of her cancer experience.
We give young children the gift of:
- Comfort – teddy bears for kids to cuddle when mum can’t be there.
- Understanding – storybooks to help kids make sense of what’s happening.
- Time – practical support so mum has more time to spend with her kids.

A mum’s cancer diagnosis impacts every part of family life, pulling mums away from their children when they’re needed most. When they can’t do it all, Mummy’s Wish can help – ensuring children feel comforted, supported and close to their mum through every stage of her cancer experience.
