Kids in the Gold Coast University Hospital did not miss out on the Easter Bunny over the East break as Radio Lollipop Gold Coast Volunteers and Live to Give Projects combined their efforts to spread some colour and joy.

For one family, who were up from New South Wales for a holiday, Radio Lollipop couldn’t have stepped in at a better time. When their 11-month-old son was admitted into hospital for the last two days of their holidays, all plans went out the window.

“It was a really lovely, way to end two very gloomy and stressful days for all of us,” says Rebecca, patients mum. “Instead of our holidays ending on a low, it ended on a high. The kids are still talking about it now.”

With the help of Live to Give Projects, Radio Lollipop Gold Coast gave all the children comfort and entertainment with the kindly donated bunny and duck ‘pillow pets’ along with colourful Easter egg playdoh.

It is little moments like this that remind volunteers that everything they do at Radio Lollipop for the children really makes a difference, one smile at a time.
