The Hero Hunter Foundation supports families of children with cancer and blood disorders through practical, family-focused programs. With a strong emphasis on carer wellbeing and household support during hospital stays, the Foundation helps ease the emotional and financial pressures families face during incredibly tough times.

The Impact 2026

The $11,400 donation from the Lyone Foundation will help Hero Hunter provide approximately 1,800 nutritious meals for parents staying beside their child in hospital, funding around 25 weeks of the Caring for the Carers meal program. By ensuring parents have access to healthy, ready-to-eat meals, the program eases one of the many daily burdens they face while caring for their child. This support allows families to spend more time together, reduces financial strain and provides comfort during an exceptionally challenging period, helping parents maintain their strength and wellbeing while remaining by their child’s side.

The Impact 2024/25

In 2025, Hero Hunter is expanding its impact with a series of new initiatives designed to provide direct relief to families when they need it most. The previous $15,000 donation from the Lyone Foundation assisted around 10 families through hospital parking reimbursements and fuel vouchers, around 6 families with professional cleaning services and 5 with deep cleans of transplant homes. It has also allowed 5 families to join the Corporate Busy Bees program, which assists with garden and home maintenance. These services give families one less thing to worry about, so they can focus on what matters most: caring for their child.

With the new $15,000 funds from the Lyone Foundation, Hero Hunter Foundation has expanded its reach to support more than 100 additional families with practical, compassionate assistance, helping to ease the pressure during some of life’s most challenging moments. This support has enabled the delivery of the following:

Home Heroes

  • 17 deep cleans for families returning home after bone marrow transplants or extended hospital stays, ensuring their environments are safe and free from harmful dust and mould
  • Over 100 regular professional house cleans for families in active treatment
  • 11 corporate volunteering garden makeovers, creating safe and calming outdoor spaces
  • More than $6,000 in home maintenance support, ensuring children can recover in a safe space

Hospital Heroes

  • Over 1,700 meals donated to carers in hospital
  • Free weekly neck and shoulder massages for parents and carers

Financial Assistance

  • More than $11,000 in essential bill assistance
  • Over $28,000 (280 vouchers) in food and fuel vouchers
  • More than $5,000 in parking reimbursements

Every service Hero Hunter provides gives families something truly valuable during treatment: breathing space. Space to focus on their child, space to rest, and space to get through each day knowing their community is behind them. With the support of the Lyone Foundation, Hero Hunter is continuing to make a meaningful and lasting difference for families across Western Australia navigating the unimaginable challenges of childhood cancer and severe blood disorders.
