Description
The children that come to Koru Care asking for help have been betrayed by their bodies. In some cases, they have cancer, kidney disease or heart problems, in other cases they've lost the use of limbs or have serious congenital abnormalities. But they still have the capacity to smile, laugh and create good memories; they just need someone to wave a magic wand.

For a child with major challenges in their lives, every day is a round of personal invasions. Their life is in the hands of medical professionals, family members and caregivers. For these children independence is just a dream. Others are constantly monitoring what they eat, what medicines they take and what their bodies are doing. Its likely they have plenty of time to dream and wish and hope. But its also likely that their family's financial circumstances and extreme care requirement will always stand in the way of making their dreams come true.

Just knowing that something wonderful is going to happen is enough to make a difference. Suddenly, a child that couldn't see past the daily routine of illness or disability can see all the way to Disneyland or the Gold Coast. Often their health will improve, even if the long-term forecast isn’t good. The mind is a powerful thing, when it can glimpse light at the end of the tunnel.

Organizing these dream trips for seriously ill, disabled, and disadvantaged children requires the dedication of Koru Care’s volunteers. Each overseas trip typically involves a group of 26 children and 15 caregivers, including two to three nurses. The caregivers, who are unpaid and take personal leave to participate, are responsible for two children each, providing 24-hour care from the moment the children arrive at the airport until they return home.
