💛 A Beautiful Touch of Generosity 💛

We are so incredibly grateful to BlacKandles for their generous donation of these gorgeous branded diffusers, they have completely elevated our Paper Cranes studio, work area, and office space.

From the moment you walk in, the scent creates a sense of calm, warmth, and comfort, something that feels so aligned with everything we stand for at Paper Cranes. We truly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect fragrance for our surroundings.

It’s these thoughtful touches that make a space feel not just functional, but welcoming, peaceful, and full of heart. 🤍

Thank you, BlacKandles, for your support and for adding something so special to our everyday environment.

✨ If you’re looking for a meaningful corporate gift or beautifully branded candles and diffusers, we couldn’t recommend them more highly, they are simply amazing!

💛 Why In-Home Support Matters for Medically Complex Children

For families caring for a child with complex medical needs, home is more than just a place to live, it becomes a place of care, comfort, and stability.

That’s why in-home supports are so important. They help ensure children receive the care they need while remaining in the place where they feel safest: home.

Here’s why in-home supports make such a difference:

🏡 Comfort of Home
Being in familiar surroundings reduces stress and provides children with a sense of security, stability, and continuity supporting their physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family-Centred Support
Parents and caregivers are highly skilled and play a leading role in their child’s care. In-home support recognises their expertise, working alongside families to strengthen communication, trust, and a deeper understanding of the child’s unique needs.

🤝 Preventing Burnout
In-home support can ease some of the daily pressures families face, giving parents precious time to simply be present and enjoy meaningful moments with their child.

🌱 Community Access & Inclusion
It helps children participate in everyday life creating opportunities for social interaction, development, and connection within their community.

At Paper Cranes Children’s Foundation, we believe every family deserves support, compassion, and the chance to create meaningful moments together. Talk to the team today to find out about how we can support you!

💜✨ Rare Disease Day – 28 February ✨💜

Rare Disease Day is just a few days away, and on 28 February we’ll be pausing to recognise the strength, resilience and courage of children and families living with rare and complex medical conditions.

While each rare disease may affect a small number of people, collectively they impact millions of families around the world. Behind every diagnosis is a child navigating hospital visits, treatments and uncertainty — and a family doing everything they can to provide love, stability and hope along the way.

At Paper Cranes Children’s Foundation, these are the families at the heart of everything we do.

Our vision for Wattle Cottage is to create a safe, supportive space where children living with complex and life-limiting conditions, and their families, can step away from clinical environments and spend precious time together. Time to rest. Time to reconnect. Time to simply be a family.

As Rare Disease Day approaches, we invite our community to:

💜 Learn about rare diseases
💜 Share awareness
💜 Show support to families walking this journey
💜 Help us bring Wattle Cottage to life

Together, we can help make life a little softer, kinder, and more supported for those who need it most.

On 28 February, wear purple, start a conversation, and stand with families facing rare disease — because no one should walk this road alone.

Today we held our board and parent meeting for Paper Cranes Children’s Foundation and wow.

We are so incredibly thankful to every single person who showed up, shared their stories, and spoke so openly about their lived experience. Your honesty, your vulnerability, and your insight are shaping something truly meaningful.

The conversations today weren’t just about ideas, they were about reality. About what’s missing. About what families in South East Queensland are navigating every single day while caring for children living with life-limiting and complex medical conditions.

You helped us think deeper about how we create a space that families can truly entrust, not just a facility, but a feeling of safety, dignity, understanding, and respite.

Wattle Cottage is not just a project on paper. It is becoming clearer because of you.
Clearer in vision.
Clearer in purpose.
Clearer in how it must be different.

A place away from hospital walls.
A place with 24/7 support.
A place where siblings are welcomed.
A place where parents can exhale.

Today helped us identify the gaps in the current climate and where we can step forward with intention.

We are building this with you, not for you.

Thank you for trusting us with your stories.

The future of Wattle Cottage is stronger because of it. 🌿

💛 Community generosity in action 💛

Today we were incredibly grateful to receive this cheque from Lionsatspringwood, their second donation in support of Paper Cranes Children’s Foundation.

At the end of last year, they raffled a signed Lions FC polo to help raise funds for us, and we’re so thankful for their continued support and belief in our mission.

This donation goes directly to Paper Cranes Children’s Foundation, helping us continue our work supporting children living with complex medical and life-limiting conditions, and their families.

Thank you, Lions @ Springwood, for standing with us and making a meaningful difference in our community. 💛
