Make a difference for kids like Archer

From the outside, Archer was the picture of health –  a fun and loving seven-year-old who enjoyed singing, playing video games with his family and snuggling up with his family dog, Sadie.

But Archer's life changed unexpectedly when severe bone pain left him unable to move and two swollen glands in his neck would just not go away.

After initial tests revealed nothing, Archer was admitted to Queensland Children's Hospital, where his family received the devastating news – Archer was diagnosed with b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. 

Archer's treatment journey hs been challenging. Over the past 15 months, he has endured chemotherapy, blood transfusions, lumbar punctures, surgeries and procedures to treat lung and bone infections. But during long hospital stays, Children's Hospital Foundation's programs made hospital feel more like home.

"The Foundation has supported over family in ways we didn't know we need. They have made our journey so muhc brighter, and the hospital feel more like an extended family."

- Marta, Archer's Mum
