2026 Good Friday Appeal Charity House

Keni and Archie helped to reveal the 2026 Charity House in Tarneit.

Keni and Archie know first hand the critical lifesaving work the Royal Children’s Hospital do every day.

Last week, the two seven-year-olds put together a jumbo jigsaw and revealed the design for the 2026 Good Friday Appeal house.

Archie and Keni, both 7, at the GFA charity house site reveal with a giant jigsaw featuring the new house design on the newly laid concrete slab.

Their perseverance marked the beginning of the charity home build that is near and dear to their hearts.

Keni still attends the RCH after having a craniotomy in 2023 to remove a brain tumour, and Archie visits the respiratory clinic for treatment and consultation.

The five-bedroom Tarneit house will be built by volunteer tradies using donated building materials.

“Thank you to Henley Homes and Villawood Properties from the depths of our hearts for your generous contribution to the GFA and the RCH,” Keni’s mother Teigan said.

The home will be auctioned on Good Friday next year, and all proceeds will go directly to the RCH.
