Abbey Solo Foundation

The Abbey Solo Foundation, celebtaing our 10th year in 2025, is a 100% volunteer based charity, honouring the life of young Abbey Solo who, while living with Leukemia for much of her young life, was always mindful of other young people on the same journey. We exist to support Oncology families at Melbourne’s Royal Childrens’ Hospital. Imagine your child has a diagnosis of cancer and is facing lengthy stays in hospital and ever increasing cost-of-living pressures add to unimaginable stress. The future all of a sudden is unknown and is often in other people’s hands. We strive to support families with practical & timely and bespoke support that meets their expressed needs. Our support reaches families within 24 hours of requests being made by their social worker.

By assisting families with practical and bespoke support, we are directly impacting their wellbeing and allowing them to spend quality time together in hospital. While simple in scope, the impact on families is profound. By easing the ever-present financial stress of these day-to-day expenses for families facing lengthy stays in hospital we are #givingtogetherness, an enabling Abbey’s legacy to live on.
