Day Of Difference

Day of Difference is an Australian charity dedicated to supporting critically injured children and their families during the first weeks of hospitalisation, to achieve the best possible recovery. Ron Delezio is the Founder and Executive Chairman. The Family Support Program is our flagship initiative that provides vital, practical support to families during the trauma, keeping the family unit strong and providing the best possible environment for recovery. Medical research has shown that the more positive and empowered a parent can be during the child’s hospitalisation the better chance the child has of recovery. There are also secondary benefits. Divorce and depression are prolific in families of critically injured children. By supporting parents better, we keep the family unit healthier and improve the quality of life for the child and family after their day of difference. Our vision is ‘Restoring hope to critically injured children and their families’
