Will you step up for sick kids like Aru?
Waiting at the doctors with her six-month-old baby daughter Aru, mum Smital could never have imagined this visit would change their lives forever. Smital and dad Kiran were numb as doctors told them their only child needed a heart transplant.
The family stayed in Melbourne's Royal Children’s Hospital for six months waiting for Aru's heart transplant. During those heartbreaking months, the family discovered Starlight.
With hospital consuming their lives, they are thankful for the little moments of happiness that help Aru's family cope with the relentless strain and worry.
Aru, now a bubbly, chatterbox three-year old, loves visiting the Starlight Express Room to play with Captain Starlight and do art and crafts. The family affectionately call it her "treat" after treatment and love that the room has something for children of all ages.
When you join Starlight Super Steps, you’ll help make hospital a happier place for sick kids like Aru. The money you raise will help bring laughter and happiness to sick kids when they need it most.
