How the SRBF came about…

The Saba Rose Button Foundation was established to help a special little girl named Saba in 2012.  Although perfectly healthy, Saba had a severe and life changing reaction to a 2010 flu vaccine at age 11 months. Saba suffered severe brain damage and multi-organ failure. Saba has been diagnosed as having Cerebral Palsy from an acquired brain injury. Saba requires and will continue to require intensive rehabilitation for the rest of her life. Saba has received compensation for what occurred and is no longer able to access the Saba Rose Button Foundation. Consequently, the SRBF is now solely for the benefit of children in similar circumstances.

The Saba Rose Button Foundation is a not-for-profit charity focused on raising funds to help children who have additional needs and their families. The funds raised will pay for these special children to access therapy (anywhere in Western Australia), for specialised equipment that is needed and for parental respite and for care in the home.  The Saba Rose Button Foundation aims to support children and their families who are in necessitous circumstances living with additional needs. Our vision is to assist children with additional needs access their best life of inclusivity and accessibility.

The Foundation has been ATO endorsed as a tax deductible recipient (DGR).
