The next best place to home, when it’s needed most
Rainbows cares for hundreds of families every year who have a baby, child or young person with a serious or terminal illness that means that their lives will be shorter than most.
Summer Appeal
“I knew she was dying, and I wanted her to be at home with me.” – Claire, Nevaeh’s Nan.
Rainbows were able to provide comfort, care and compassion for Nevaeh’s family, during the most difficult and heartbreaking time of their lives. This simply wouldn’t be possible without your support.
This summer, please give what you can. Every donation makes a lasting difference for families like Nevaeh’s.
The care and love we received was unbelievable. Any time day or night there was a friendly face, sympathetic ear and at times a much needed hug
Refer a baby, child or young person.
