Recently, RJ from local Bowen business, Purple Rain Desserts made us some amazing Stella Life Care edible logo cupcakes for the APM Cannonvale Open Day. RJ kindly made the cupcakes for us and we promised to pay it forward by making a donation to a local charity that supported children and families.
We felt that the joint fundraising campaign by Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) North Australia and Mackay Hospital Foundation (MHF) to build a Family Room at Mackay Base Hospital was the perfect fit. The Family Room will provide a much needed service that will benefit local Whitsunday children and families needing to travel to Mackay for health services.
The Ronald McDonald Family Room, will provide a homelike environment close to the Children and Adolescent Unit, and provide free services and support volunteers to enable family members of hospitalised children to have respite from the ward and increase their overall well-being.

Stella Life Care is passionate about supporting local causes that matter to our community and we look forward to seeing the Ronald McDonald Family Room open at Mackay Base Hospital later this year.
