BEFORE JUNE 30: YOUR GIFT CAN SAVE LIVES LIKE SANDY’S
Your tax-deductible donation today helps provide world-class health care right here in Far North Queensland
REAL PEOPLE, REAL IMPACT: WHY YOUR DONATION MATTERS
Sandy is still here because of you.
Sandy never expected to need emergency care. But when he was suddenly diagnosed with a medical condition and told he had to travel south for treatment, he and wife MaryAnn didn’t know where to turn. Then they found out the procedure he needed was available in Cairns – thanks to donations to the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation. Today, Sandy is back home with family, grateful for the care that saved his life right here in Far North Queensland.
“I wouldn’t be here without the incredible team at Cairns Hospital and the equipment they had available. I’m living proof that your donations stay local and save lives.” – Sandy
WHEN THE GIVER BECOMES THE RECEIVER
Cheryl never imagined she’d need the very equipment she helped fund.
After years supporting FNQHF fundraisers, Cheryl was diagnosed with a rare lung condition. The specialised diagnostic equipment she had donated towards months earlier, became essential to her treatment.
“It was surreal being wheeled into that room and seeing the equipment I’d helped fund. That’s when it hit me – we never know when we might need these vital services ourselves. Supporting our local hospitals isn’t just charity; it’s an investment in all our futures.” – Cheryl
FROM OUR FRONTLINE HEALTH CARE HEROES
Dr Zach sees patients at their most vulnerable moments.
“As an anaesthetist at Cairns Hospital, I care for people when they’re at their most unwell. The equipment funded by the Foundation means I can provide the highest standard of care during critical moments. Every donation translates directly to better patient outcomes and, often, saved lives.” – Dr. Zach
Dr Esh knows the clinical impact of the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation.
“Every day I see first hand how the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation transforms health care for our region. The clinical impact is remarkable. From specialised bariatric beds, to surgical microscopes, to additional neoprobes, the hospital foundation team works tirelessly to bring the best medical care to our region. With tax time fast approaching, now is the perfect time to donate. We shouldn’t have to travel because we choose to live here. Donate today.” – Dr. Esh
