Meet Ali & Fletcher
For this little Canberra family, Christmas will be spent in hospital. Heartbreakingly, it might be Ali’s last.
In August, out of the blue, Ali’s life turned upside down. What she thought was a bad case of food poisoning turned out to be Stage 4 signet ring cell carcinoma, an aggressive and silent gastric cancer.
Thanks to supporters like you, Fletcher and Ali have found the support and care they need in the incredible staff on Wards 10A and 14B at Canberra Hospital.
But there is more we can - and must - do for families facing the unimaginable.
What gift could you give this Christmas?

Groundbreaking Local Research

Every gift you give brings light to someone’s darkest day.
At Canberra Hospitals Foundation, we see the impact you can create every day.
Your gift today will help bring care, dignity, and comfort to families spending Christmas in hospital.
