Every child deserves the chance to have their Christmas wish answered.

This Christmas, children across Australia are writing letters to Santa. Some wish for a teddy bear. Others wish for their own bed, a bike to ride with their family, or the chance to keep playing the sport they love.

When you donate to children at Christmas through Variety, you can help make these wishes possible. A teddy can mean comfort, a safe place to sleep can mean security, a bike can mean freedom, and headphones can help make busy places feel a little less overwhelming. Your support could also help a child pursue their talent through a scholarship or access equipment that helps them participate in everyday life.

But for many children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with a disability, having something to bring comfort can mean the world.

This Christmas, you can help children like Lincoln experience the joy, comfort and confidence every child deserves.

For some children, that means a comforting teddy or a safe place to sleep. For others, it’s a bike that provides freedom, headphones that make the world a little less overwhelming, a scholarship to pursue a talent, or equipment that helps them participate in everyday life. Every child has a different wish, but every wish represents something bigger – the opportunity to thrive.
