Your support today could deliver life-saving care for children facing cancer

Grace was just days old when her parents were told she might not survive. Her mum, Willow, remembers the relief of knowing her daughter was in safe hands at Evelina London:

“We were treated with the greatest of care, empathy, and compassion, at a time when I felt that there was no hope. We knew that our baby was in safe hands and being cared for by an extraordinary team of very special nurses and doctors.”

It’s that same standard of care Evelina London are working to deliver for every child who comes through their doors.

For many children with cancer, the most demanding part of their journey is the treatment itself, and for those with high-risk or relapsed cancer, a stem cell transplant can be an essential part of their care.

An apheresis machine is a vital part of this treatment. It works by extracting blood and collecting stems cells needed for treatment. This machine is specially adaptable for smaller bodies, helping make treatment more comfortable and less overwhelming.

For children and families, this can mean less physical strain, comfort and more reassurance at a deeply uncertain time. And at such a critical moment, that difference can be life-changing.
