Blue Dot Army knows many Australians will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. We also know how devastating a diagnosis can be, and the journey ahead can be difficult to navigate and overwhelming at times. Our existence is based solely on support from the community. We have achieved the rating of donated gift recipient (DGR), meaning donations to us that are over $2 are tax-deductible.
Change 500 - Be the Change
The Change 500 program offers essential support for individuals undergoing cancer treatment, easing their journey and alleviating stress through annual donations. Your contribution directly impacts those facing cancer by providing:
-
Financial Relief: Your donation helps cover some out-of-pocket expenses such as accommodation, food, and transport during treatment, relieving financial burdens.
-
Assistance for Those Travelling Long Distances: Individuals coming from outside Perth receive the support and companionship they need throughout their treatment journey.
-
Support on the Cancer Journey: Donations help make the cancer experience more manageable by offering a friendly face, emotional reassurance, and vital care.
-
Companionship and Care: Dedicated volunteers accompany patients to medical appointments, providing a comforting presence and ensuring no one has to face their journey alone.
-
A Stronger Sense of Community: Together, we create a network of support where individuals feel understood and cared for, no matter how far from home they are.
By making a tax-deductible donation you join a community dedicated to making a tangible impact. Your ongoing support reduces stress and enhances the well-being of individuals on their cancer journey.​
​
Ways to Donate:
-
$10 per month: For just $10 a month (the price of a coffee), you fund over 1,429km of essential transport for our guests.
-
$50 per month: Skip eating out once a month? A $50 monthly donation supports grocery shopping and stress-relieving activities for our guests.
-
$100 per month: Make a significant difference with a $100 monthly donation, helping fund accommodation, transportation, and wellness activities for those in need.
