This week, SCHF hosted a pop-up shop to help sick and injured kids celebrate the special father-figures in their lives.
For school-aged kids across the country, the annual Father’s Day store is a chance to purchase a gift for that special person in their life, whether it’s their dads, mums, grandpas and uncles. But the reality is that for families with sick and injured kids in hospital, this year’s celebration will look a little different.
That’s why this week, Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation was delighted to host Father’s Day stalls across Sydney’s two paediatric hospitals and palliative care service. For just the price of a smile, hundreds of sick and injured kids were able to hand-pick out funky socks, Star War pajamas, mugs and other gifts for their loved ones.
All presents were kindly packed in our FlatOUT Bear tote bag which featured a surprise Symbio Zoo family pass.
Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation acknowledges that while Father's Day is a special occasion for some, it can bring up tough emotions for others. This Sunday, our thoughts are with all the father-figures and dads out there including the dads who've lost children, the solo dads, those longing to be dads and those who've lost their dads.
