    Butterfly House

    Butterfly House, a home away from home where our families can go for a respite holiday to spend time as a family. When a child is going through treatment, not only does the child get affected but emotionally the whole family does also. Butterfly House gives the whole family well deserved time to spend time without the burden of having to pay for the experience.

Testimonials

  • Lion Hearts Learning filled a huge need in our lives at precisely the right moment. We had just moved to Adelaide, only to be advised our daughter had a life threatening illness - leukaemia. We knew no-one, had no support network and our little lion had no friends to help her develop into the person we knew she could be. On one of our long days in hospital, we met Jolyn and she told us about a playgroup that would be starting soon for kids just like Zoe. We were so thrilled and eagerly anticipated the commencement of this much-required service. And what a great success: suddenly Zoe had friends she could learn social cues from and prepare her for kindy - but as parents, we could relax knowing that everyone understood how fragile these rambunctious cubs actually are. It’s a safe space to learn, and a safe space for parents to let their little ones grow and develop into independent learners. Thank you!

  • Our daughter Zara was diagnosed with Ph+ALL in 2019 when she was 2 years old and spent nearly all of the first year admitted at the Women's and Children's Hospital. We nearly lost Zara many times but the scariest was when she first started treatment and the side effects caused her bowel to perforate. Before diagnosis, Zara had attended childcare a few times and when she became unwell, she spent all her time with medical staff and other adults. We were very happy to learn about LHL, they helped her to learn how to socialise with other children and prepare her for kindy, without LHL it would have been so much harder. LHL also provided me with much needed emotional and mental support, thankyou. The trained staff at LHL are amazing, they provide craft packs regularly, we've been to Gold Class Marion twice, seen Bumbles the Clown and so many more fun times have been experienced. I would like to thank all of the LHL staff, you are all amazing people and I think of you all as another family.
