By making hospital feel more like home, you’ll help sick kids get home sooner.

Every year, one in three families travel to Queensland Children’s Hospital from regional and remote areas.

They leave behind their homes, jobs and support networks - often for months or even years - so their child can receive the critical care they need.

For families like Georgia’s, hospital becomes a second home. But without familiar comforts, it can be overwhelming and isolating. That’s where you come in.

Help make hospital feel more like home for these sick kids.

Your gift helps provide vital support programs - from emotional and financial assistance to therapy programs and family accommodation - so the next sick kid feels safe, supported and comfortable during treatment.

Georgia’s fight for survival

Before Georgia was born, doctors discovered she had only half a heart. She would have to fight to survive.

But her mum, Larissa, refused to give up. At 36 weeks pregnant, she uprooted her family and moved to Brisbane to give Georgia a fighting chance.

At just a few days old, Georgia had her first of three open-heart surgeries. It was the beginning of a long and difficult journey.

But families like hers don’t have to face it alone.
