The Frank Hilton Organisation needs funding to continue providing its services to children, who are in dire need of medical care after its CEO, Sureni Perara, revealed that the organisation every year has a deficit of approximately $500,000 within its budget that it will need to raise by conducting fundraising activities.

Perara says they are committed to ensuring that every child that walks through their doors receives services in a timely manner.

She says the organisation is really thankful to the government for the continued support towards their patient division, where 70 percent of their budget which is provided by the government goes to the funding of two of their schools, the early intervention centre, and also the residential care facility.

The CEO adds that 30 percent of their budget, which is being fundraised, goes to ensuring that they have the capacity, the staffing and the resources to conduct their programs such as outreach services.

She also highlighted that every day, families are coming to them with at least one new case, and it's growing.
