A local, independent, community driven not-for-profit charity received some charity of its own to help continue it’s work supporting public hospitals in the region.
Mackay Hospital Foundation was the benefactor of a few choice gifts last Friday when two local girls dropped off donations to the organisation’s Children’s and Adolescent Unit.
Madison and Brooke, two “beautiful young ladies”, came in last Friday to donate books and toys to the Foundation, which aims to enhance the hospital experience and help improve the health outcomes for people in the Mackay Hospital and Health Service region.
The donations will help the Foundation fulfill its role of “filling the gap,” providing those extras that will help patients to receive the finest health care possible and support hospital staff.
A Mackay Hospital Foundation spokesperson said Madison knew how important and humanising small donations like this can be.
“[She] had spent a month in the Children’s Ward before Christmas so she knows first-hand the difference toys and books make while being in the hospital when you are sick,” the spokesperson said.
“Thank you girls for your generous donation, it will definitely put some smiles on children’s faces.”
