\"CabooltureThe Common Good (an initiative of The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation) has launched its first fundraising appeal at Caboolture Hospital, focusing its efforts on the children\u2019s ward to provide both a specialised incubator bed for critically ill children and a refurbished children\u2019s play area.<\/h4>\n

Narangba residents and Caboolture Hospital family the Dunlops know all too well the importance of Caboolture Hospital for the local community.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur five-year-old son Kyran has a rare genetic disorder called Krabbe disease,\u201d mum Carissa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis impacts his brain and nervous system and as a result, he requires a significant level of care both at home, and at hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst we are currently having a good run away from hospital, we would generally be visiting Caboolture Hospital four to five times per year, often for one to two weeks at a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Caboolture Hospital teams have become our second family and the kindness and care we have received from them has been priceless throughout what really has been a horrific ordeal for our family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would encourage the community to get behind the Caboolture Hospital Children\u2019s Appeal because this hospital is the absolute lifeblood of our community. They are there for us day and night when Kyran and our family have needed them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Common Good CEO Michael Hornby said he was proud of the charity\u2019s first appeal for Caboolture Hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Common Good is proud to extend our support to Caboolture Hospital,\u201d Mr Hornby said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that this hospital is critical to the community and with a growing population to serve, it\u2019s more important than ever that we all come together to support these important projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
