Hummingbird House

The first children's hospice in Queensland is opening in Chermside this October. This is a joint initiative created by the Hummingbird House Foundation and Wesley Foundation to support children with life limiting illness. The website is worth a look at to get a full sense of the beautiful place they have been creating for children and their families. There is a specialist paediatric palliative care team attached to the service who provide support and care for the child and family.

Coles Supermarkets are accepting donations at the register and I urge people to consider the small donation of $2 which they add to the overall cost of your shopping. We live in a precarious and unpredictable world at times but knowing there are great people out there putting their time and energy into making the most devastating of circumstances a little easier for people dealing with the loss of a child is both reassuring and heartening.
