Sick Baby Christmas Appeal Charity Donations

A health crisis can happen at any time, to anyone.

For some, it could mean the fight of their life

No one ever expects them or their loved ones to end up in hospital, especially at Christmas, desperately needing critical care that could save their life. Unfortunately each year our Gold Coast emergency departments see over 31,000 babies, children and adults, presenting to the hospital for a range of illnesses, trauma and diseases.

Tillie's mum, Ashleigh, never expected this desperate need for help would happen to her and her unborn baby, or that she would unknowingly receive vital help from the Foundation when Tillie arrived unexpectedly 24 weeks premature.

Your donation can make the difference this Christmas

Every dollar raised stays right here on the Gold Coast supporting our local community.

The urgent need for support

When a loved one is faced with a health challenge, you want to know they have access to the best possible health care when they need it most. That is why the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation is dedicated to supporting critical services across:

  • Cancer Patient Transport Services
  • Vital Medical Equipment
  • Emergency Accomodation Support
  • Life-saving Research Programs

All funds raised stay right here on the Gold Coast helping support our health services. Through generous donations from people like you, we were able to support baby Tillie, Tameka and others with their critical health journey. This Christmas help us change the outcomes for more people in critical need. It could be the difference to the life of someone you know.

Tillie's Story

Born fighting for every breathe at 24 weeks.

A critical life hung in the balance. Being born far too early baby Tillie had a fight on her hands, entering the world at 24 weeks premature. Countless support from the medical teams, as well as specialised equipment donated by the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation would help Tillie on her health journey. Read more about our littlest fighter and what her mum Ashleigh experienced each day.

Tameka's Story

A newborn and postnatal depression. Tameka and her partner needed support.

When Tameka and her partner dreamed of starting a family, they never imagined their world would feel like it was crashing down around them. But as Tameka struggled with severe postnatal depression and anxiety, it became their reality—a reality shared by many families, with 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers experiencing postnatal depression.
