Help those in critical need this Christmas

Thousands of people will spend Christmas in hospital this year. While many of us gather at home with loved ones, others will be facing some of the hardest moments of their lives - waiting by a bedside or fighting for their lives. 

Your donation this Christmas could be the gift that saves a life and makes a real difference to someone who needs us most.

Christmas Fundraising Life-saving support Tillie

Baby Tillie's Story

It was a fight for survival for baby Tillie, and she needed our help.

“I knew babies were born prematurely and could survive, but I had no idea what they went through,” Ashleigh confesses. “I had no idea what goes into keeping them alive.”

The Gold Coast Hospital Foundation plays a crucial role in providing life-saving equipment and vital services that give families like Tillie’s hope and the chance to heal. During her stay, Tillie relied on many pieces of equipment donated by the Foundation, including the Servo N Ventilator, Giraffe Omni Bed, Kanmed Bed, and Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide (TcCO2) Monitor.

 

Every dollar raised stays right here on the Gold Coast, helping those suffering from critical health challenges

Dr James Winearls' Story

From ICU Doctor to ICU Patient. Dr Winearls' was fighting to breathe.

“When I arrived at GCUH by ambulance, I burst into tears,” Dr Winearls shares. “It was incredibly emotional to suddenly find myself as a patient in the ICU where I had worked for the last decade. It was surreal and confronting, but at the same time, I was deeply relieved to see my medical and nursing colleagues. They were incredibly caring, professional, and compassionate—it gave me a new perspective on the amazing work they do every day.”
