What an incredible and generous response we received for little Elsie, the star of our recent Christmas Appeal. We cannot thank you enough. 

Your kindness will ensure children like Elsie who are blind or have low vision have ongoing support to build foundational skills, learn to navigate their world safely and confidently and gain the social skills needed to thrive at school and beyond.

It was impossible not to be inspired and moved by the story of gorgeous four-year-old Elsie. When we told her mum and dad, Ally and James, about the response from donors like you, they were overwhelmed and incredibly grateful.

"From the moment we connected with Vision Australia, we knew everything would be alright – the advice, therapy and care from day one was extraordinary. But to know so many other people care as well is truly humbling. Thank you for believing in our little girl as much as we do."
