Making Hospital Children Birthdays Brighter
A very special thank you to Ava.
A huge thank you to the lovely Ava, who recently completed a wonderful service-learning project by creating 10 beautiful gift baskets for children spending their birthdays in hospital.
Ava came up with the idea after learning about the work of the Friends of the Women’s & Children’s Hospital. She wanted to use her community service hours to do something that would brighten a child’s day — and what a thoughtful idea it was!
The Friends Donor Choice Program - Sara Combilizer
Thank You to Dickens and Diana for their generous donation through The Friends Donor Choice Program.
They chose to direct their donation towards a Sara Combilizer for the Allied Health Department at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital — equipment that is now helping physiotherapists safely introduce early movement and mobilisation for critically unwell children.
The impact is already being felt.
