The Ronald McDonald Family Room at Mackay Base Hospital has a new outdoor play area ready to welcome families, but it needs a little extra magic to become the perfect retreat. To help transform this space into a fun and welcoming haven, the Family Room team has created a wish list of items for the community to support.
From shade structures and comfortable outdoor furniture to toys and play equipment, the list includes items that will provide a joyful and relaxing environment for families during challenging times. With options to suit all budgets, individuals and organisations can make a meaningful contribution to this vital community resource.
Community Engagement Executive Samantha Baker shared her excitement, saying, “This outdoor area will make a big difference for families, offering them a space to unwind and connect in a supportive environment.”
The Family Room, which relocated to its temporary home earlier this year as part of the Mackay Base Hospital expansion, continues to support thousands of families annually. Donations to the wish list will ensure the outdoor space becomes an integral part of the Family Room’s mission to provide comfort and care.
