What we do

Our vision for the future

Jodie’s Inspiration’s vision is for every cancer patient to have access to essential and non-essential equipment and services that will preserve their dignity and significantly improve their treatment experience and quality of life.

Our mission

Jodie’s Inspiration is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to meet the needs of cancer patients in the Lismore and surrounding areas by raising funds for the purchase of medical equipment and resources. Jodie’s Inspiration seeks to promote the importance of early detection and positively enhance the treatment experience of cancer patients and their families.

Our achievements

Jodie’s Inspiration is proud to have delivered over $275,000 worth of medical equipment to local hospitals, in support of local patients, since 2015.

The volunteer-led, volunteer-run local charity has donated over $160,000 worth of Cold Cap Therapy Machines to both the St Vincent’s Oncology Unit and Integrated Cancer Care Centre at Lismore Base Hospital.

Thanks to the generous support of the local community, a further $100,000 worth of equipment was donated in 2020 to both St Vincent’s Palliative Care and the Northern NSW Local Health District. This donation saw equipment donated to various hospitals across the Northern NSW Local Health District from Ballina in the east to Banalbo in the west, reflecting the breadth of the community’s support for Jodie’s Inspiration across the region.

A further commitment of $15,000 was made in 2021 for the purchase of syringe drivers to help with the provision of in-home palliative care patients in the local area.

We thank everyone for their support and encourage you to get involved and help raise funds to support local patients and their families. Your money stays local!

There are different reasons to donate. Donate to help someone you know, or in memory of a loved one or maybe because you want to help.
