      After several surgeries, 9-year-old James was finally heading home and just in time for his birthday. Living with a progressive and degenerative condition, each birthday marks an important moment for James and his family.
      <br><br>
      To help make this one a little more special, we surprised James with a delicious cake and tickets to Beauty and the Beast. It was a chance to celebrate, to feel the joy of something just for him, and to create memories that matter. A big milestone, made a little brighter.

    &#8220;We were in hospital when the vouchers came through our door. My wife literally cried when she opened it as we needed to purchase food and petrol urgently. We are so grateful to you all for your generosity. We now have some fresh food and are able to transport our son with a tank full of petrol. Such a huge relief in these uncertain times.&#8221;

    <details style="background-color: #f9fafb; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px;">
      <summary style="font-weight: 600; cursor: pointer;">How is $1 used?</summary>
      <p style="margin-top: 8px;">Every dollar makes a real difference. Your $1 contributes to urgent care moments like fuel for a parent visiting their child in hospital, an iPad to help a non-verbal child communicate, or a small toy to bring a smile to a child.</p>
    </details>
    <details style="background-color: #f9fafb; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px;">
      <summary style="font-weight: 600; cursor: pointer;">Can I cancel anytime?</summary>
      <p style="margin-top: 8px;">Yes. You’re in full control. You can cancel, pause or change your donation at any time. No questions asked.</p>
    </details>
    <details style="background-color: #f9fafb; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px;">
      <summary style="font-weight: 600; cursor: pointer;">Why not a one-off donation?</summary>
      <p style="margin-top: 8px;">Ongoing support means ongoing impact. One-off donations help, but monthly giving lets us plan ahead and respond fast when urgent needs arise.</p>
