Moments of care since 1998

Every moment with a newborn matters, especially in the NICU. Born at just 32 weeks, baby Xavier faced serious health challenges including T21, Leukemia and a heart condition.

His mum, recovering from surgery and without regular support, was catching public transport daily to be by his side. Through our Rapid TLC Service, we provided food and fuel vouchers to help ease the pressure, because sometimes the most meaningful care is simply helping families stay close.

What makes this different?

No waiting lists

We act fast, families often receive support in just 24 to 48 hours. No queues, no bureaucracy, just help when it’s needed most.

100% real support, no fluff

Your $1/week delivers real-world impact like fuel, food, and transport assistance, the kind of help families actually need during medical crises.

Cancel anytime

There’s no lock-in. You can cancel whenever you like. But we think you’ll stay once you see how far $1 can go.

$1/week. 100,000 members = $5M+/year. Be part of it.

Not quite ready to become a Friend of TLC? That’s totally fine.

Before you go, we’d love to share something special that’s been made possible by our Friends of TLC community. It’s called Tap 2 Distract, a free, clinically endorsed tool that’s already delivered over a million minutes of calm to children and families in tough medical moments. No ads, no login, no cost. Just a small, meaningful moment of calm, made possible by people who care. Try Tap 2 Distract, and experience the kind of difference our community helps create, one tap at a time. And if you find it has even a little value, for yourself, someone you care about, or someone you know, maybe you’ll consider coming back and joining our Friends of TLC community. We’d love to welcome you when the time is right.
