Noah’s Brave Cancer Battle: Support Needed

Instead of celebrating his 4th birthday with friends, balloons, and a little party, we sat in a hospital room with a cake, trying to explain to our sweet boy—through heavy tears in our eyes—that he was very sick.

On that day in November, Noah was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer - Neuroblastoma.

Our world shattered in an instant. Since then, hospital walls have replaced playgrounds, and IV drips have taken the place of toys. Noah has spent almost every special occasion in a hospital bed—his birthday, New Year’s Eve, Easter—days that should have been filled with laughter and childhood innocence. Watching him endure the treatments while still managing to smile breaks our hearts every day.

We are incredibly grateful to the Brisbane Children’s Hospital for giving us hope. With a three-year treatment plan, we hold on with every ounce of strength, fighting alongside Noah to win this battle. While Noah will miss kindergarten, grade 1, and grade 2 at school, the hospital provides schooling, which has been an amazing support during this time

As his mum, I immediately left my full-time job to be by his side. To stay close to Noah during treatment, we are also renting an additional living space opposite the hospital, where we now spend most of our time.

But while we focus on his treatment, the bills don’t stop. Our daughter’s school expenses, travel costs to and from the hospital, rent, mortgage, and daily living expenses continue to add up—especially as the cost of living keeps rising.

We know times are tough for many, but even the smallest contribution can make a big difference, helping us stay by Noah’s side for as long as he needs.

Please consider donating or sharing Noah’s story—your support means the world to us. Every bit helps us stay by his side and fight this battle together.
