In 2024, MAD helped fund a custom wig for a teenage student facing hair loss after serious illness. She was able to take a big step toward regaining her confidence.

“She proudly wore her wig and enjoyed a lovely shopping trip with us. We are deeply grateful.”

MAD provided funding for Maryam’s nutrition, speech, physio and OT - vital support at a critical time. Not yet eligible for Medicare, her family faced the full costs. “There really is nothing else like MAD out there."
-Charlotte, Paediatrician

Funding from Aiden's NDIS plan was declined due to technical limitations.

In early 2025, MAD stepped in to fund a KidsFlex specialised car seat and a Convaid cruiser stroller, ensuring he can now travel safely and comfortably with proper postural support.
