Variety SA's Caring For Kids program
The Variety Caring For Kids Program supports SA Health Services including hospitals, intensive care units and specialised medical services. Variety finances the purchase of much needed medical equipment in addition to recreational equipment which can be utilised by children during their recovery.Because Variety pays for the purchase of equipment, we are 100% sure that every dollar we provide goes where it's most needed.
In 2008, Variety the children's charity SA provided $500 000 to Mini Miracles for medical equipment and Ronald McDonald House for accommodation.
Ongoing Programs in South Australia receiving significant assistance include:
Myoelectric limbs - to assist mobility for physically disabled children
