Bookish Fundraiser in Honour of Haylee

Good Friday Appeal 2025

Bookish Fundraiser in Honour of Haylee

Bookish is proud to be fundraising for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal 2025

We were approached by our lovely loyal customer, Coby, to assist in fundraising for the Good Friday Appeal in honour of his cousin Haylee.  The RCH was a second home and family to her during her childhood. They helped her survive the worst moments during the many months she spent away from home and the countless procedures she endured. They always helped make the best of a tough situation.

Haylee says they saved her life and although she is no longer a patient at RCH she encourages us all to support the Good Friday Appeal to enable the continued funding of programs such as ChIPS (Chronic Illness Peer Support) which provides support and community for 12–25-year-olds helping them learn how to thrive with a chronic illness. Every cent raised helps to keep this wonderful hospital, staff and their fabulous programs reaching as many people as possible.

Bookish will contribute $1000 to start the fundraiser and will also contribute $1.00 from every book sold at Bookish from Saturday 12th April up to, and including, Good Friday 18th April 2025. 

I‘ve created this page because I want to make a difference to the lives of sick kids.

The Good Friday Appeal relies on the support of the community to raise funds to ensure that The Royal Children's Hospital is able to continue to provide world class care to patients and their families. From 2022 to 2023 at The Royal Children's Hospital: 90,260 patients presented to the Emergency Department, 50,345 children and young people were admitted to a ward, 407,563 children and young people attended an outpatient appointment, and 14,963 patients underwent surgery. So please help by giving whatever you are able to this fundraiser and help spread the word by sharing this page with your friends, family and networks. Thank you for your generosity, it means a lot!

with heart
