Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EoE) is a painful, lifelong condition that affects a child’s ability to eat, grow and thrive. HCRF's goal is to raise $30,000 by 30th August 2026 to fund a new research grant to help researchers develop better, less invasive monitoring and personalised therapies for children living with EoE.
Your donation helps bring comfort, relief and hope to children facing this terrible disease – children like Felix (read his story here).
Our much-loved HCRF Bears are back!
For $30 you can purchase a bear that delivers comfort at home and helps fund vital children’s health research. Perfect for stockings, teacher gifts, or simply as a gift that gives back.

This Christmas, a beautiful story can support an even bigger one.
For every copy of The Little Kookaburra Who Was Sad purchased through author Jennifer Silkman’s website, $1 will be kindly donated to HCRF. A perfect gift for little readers - and a small act that helps fund big discoveries for kids in need.
