Meet Imi. 💜💛 Despite her tough medical journey, her spirit shines bright. Thanks to Imi’s Starlight Wish, she experienced a week of joy and unforgettable moments with her family on the Gold Coast.
🙏 This holiday season, your support can bring joy and happiness to seriously ill children like Imi.
Meet Naomi 👋 Corporate Partnerships Coordinator at Starlight. 🤩Naomi builds relationships with our incredible partners to help bring joy, fun, and #SHINE to seriously ill children and their families through impactful collaborations and fundraising support.
We asked Naomi what her favourite thing is about her role…
⭐✨ “The best part is working with people who are generous and eager to give back to a worthy cause. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the joy on people’s faces when they realise how many sick kids their contributions will help support. It really puts everything in perspective”.
If you think you love cats…. Meet Ella! 👋😺
💫 Ella’s Starlight Wish was truly unique… it was to spend a weekend surrounded by cats & Starlight went above and beyond to ensure it was the ultimate cat lover’s dream! 🤩Ella travelled interstate to attend the ‘Cat Lovers Festival’, visited the ‘Sydney Dogs & Cats Home’ to learn about rescue cats, and spend time at the ‘Catmosphere Cat Café’.
🙏 When you support a child’s Starlight Wish, our team goes above and beyond to ensure it is an extra special experience for the whole family.
So, the purr-fect special touch? Her very own ✨ Starlight Cat Choice Awards ✨ where Ella judged more than 50 adorable entrants from our Starlight team members, with Starlight’s National Volunteer Manager’s cat named Clive crowned the winner 💜

🙏 19-year-old Logan has been a devoted fan of Dean Lewis, crediting his music with helping him through the toughest parts of his treatment.
So, you can imagine the excitement when Logan found out he was being granted his Starlight Wish - to meet & sing with his idol! 🤩 @DeanLewis
In an unforgettable pre-concert meet-up, Logan not only sang 3 of his favourite songs with Dean but also shared a demo of his own original tracks. Dean shared songwriting tips while complimenting Logan’s talents!

20-year-old Kaitlyn is a super fan of the Australian reality TV show 'Bondi Rescue.’🏊
During her time in hospital, watching Bondi Rescue was there to help Kaitlyn escape from the stress and anxiety of treatment. 🤩 So, when Kaitlyn found out she was receiving a Starlight Wish, she knew exactly what she wanted!
Kaitlyn wished to meet the stars of the show, especially Australian lifeguard Bruce Hopkins, affectionately known as Hoppo!
⭐ On her Starlight Wish, Kaitlyn was treated to an exclusive Bondi Rescue experience including a tour of the lifeguard tower, riding on a beach buggy and enjoyed lunch at the amazing Surfside Bondi Seafood Café with the cast.
Kaitlyn’s mum, Jackie, told Starlight how much her Starlight Wish meant to her daughter and that Kaitlyn will never forget this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
🙏 Thank you to @WaverlyCouncil for helping Kaitlyn's Starlight Wish come true!
Look who swung by to brighten the day! ✨🏏
It was wonderful to welcome cricket legend Mike Hussey to the Starlight Express Room!
🌟 As a proud Starlight Ambassador, Mike brought joy, laughs, and even some cricket tips to the kids and families in the room!
💜 Imagine undergoing over 40 medical procedures—that's the reality for Imi, who was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease at just six months old.
💛 Imi's life revolves around scary surgeries and painful hospital treatments to manage her ongoing health conditions. The most challenging part for Imi is feeling different and missing out on the fun things other children her age enjoy.
⭐ Moments of joy and happiness are essential to childhood. Thanks to Starlight, Imi received an incredible gift of happiness: her Starlight Wish!
🙏 This Christmas, we're asking you to help give joy to seriously ill children like Imi by donating to Starlight!
