Brain Tumour Support Kidz
BTSNZ Kidz is dedicated to supporting Kiwi children living with a brain tumour and the families who walk this journey alongside them. As part of Brain Tumour Support Trust NZ (BTSNZ), we provide compassionate, specialised support that helps families navigate the shock of diagnosis, understand treatment options, and find comfort and connection during an overwhelmingly difficult time. Our mission is simple: to ensure every child and whānau facing a brain tumour in Aotearoa feels supported, informed, and never alone.
We offer children and their families:
- Specialised information to help make sense of medical language, treatment pathways, and next steps.
- Personalised one-on-one support, providing a steady, compassionate presence during diagnosis, treatment, and life beyond.
- Advocacy, ensuring families are heard, informed, and supported within the health system and education environments.
- Resources and connections, linking families with others who understand what they’re going through and creating a sense of community and belonging.
- Guidance and clarity when everything feels overwhelming—whether through a listening ear, practical tools, or emotional support.
Choosing to support BTSNZ Kidz directly impacts the lives of Kiwi tamariki and their whānau as they navigate one of the toughest journeys imaginable. Your generosity ensures every child living with a brain tumour in New Zealand feels seen, supported, and surrounded by a community that cares.
