A mother's love lasts a lifetime
Spring is a season of new beginnings. For most families, it means days in the sun, laughter, and simple moments together.
But for mums with cancer, these moments can be few and far between. Mummy’s Wish helps create lasting memories, like teddy bears with a mother’s voice recorded inside, or storybooks that explain why mum isn’t always there.
Your gift this Spring ensures children can hold onto their mum’s love, forever.
A message from Erin
With your support, we can continue providing:
Comfort Bears
Our comfort bears each come with a recordable heart, so mums can leave a heartfelt message for children to listen to when they cannot be together.
Educational books
Books are carefully selected based on a mum’s circumstances and children’s concerns, helping families manage conversations about cancer.
Practical support
We can arrange delivery of nutritious family meals or help with tasks like cleaning and gardening, giving mums the gift of more time with their families.
Emotional support
Our cancer navigators provide a listening ear, personalised support and check-ins, and support groups to help mums every step of the way.
About the dandelion
The dandelion is a meaningful symbol for Mummy’s Wish. Blowing on a dandelion is a childhood ritual – one we associate with hope, wishes and a touch of magic. Although at first glance they look delicate, dandelions are tougher than they appear. They’re recognised as a universal symbol of resilience, strength and renewal.
