Give Melbourne A Hug

Let's give a 'hug' to 200 cancer patients across VIC undergoing treatment during ongoing restrictions and lockdowns.

Your donation will make an impact. For as little as $30 you can send a mini box or $70 a large hug box to patients at oncology wards. We work with a number of hospitals across VIC and will aim to reach as many patients as we can.

The impact of Melbourne's recent restrictions and lockdowns has been especially difficult for those fighting cancer, their family and friends. For many of these cancer patients, the spread of COVID-19 cases and various restrictions has limited the number of loved ones they can see, created a risk to their compromised immune systems and could impact their ability to fight the cancer.

Join Cure Cancer and The Big Hug Box to deliver 200 hug boxes, and give cancer patients across Melbourne. A gift of connection during these difficult and uncertain times.

Each Hug Box is hand-selected and made with care to bring a moment of joy to each cancer patient and promote wellness throughout their treatment. Inside the boxes are practical and empowering products sourced from Aussie small businesses and include inspiring messages of hope to help each patient with their journey.

Any support is welcome - please continue to share this page among your family and friends with the hashtag #GiveMelbourneAHug.

Each Hug Box includes a message of hope - leave a comment below with your message of support and compassion.
