This Giving Day Logan Hospital is shining a spotlight on two generous individuals whose donation will provide comfort to grieving families.
Mark and Margaret Toleman requested their donation be used to purchase a cooling cot; a vital piece of equipment that allows families to spend precious, extended time with their stillborn baby.
The Tolemans have a personal connection to Logan Hospital through their daughter, Jessica Toleman, who is the current Service Line Director of Surgery and Critical Care.
But their motivation for this donation runs deeper.
Margaret’s family was forever impacted by the loss of a child to stillbirth—a heartbreak that led her to undertake PhD research aimed at better understanding and supporting families enduring similar losses.
During her studies, Margaret said she heard the emotional stories of several families in the Greater Brisbane area.
"The courage in sharing their experiences inspired my husband and I to make this donation to the Logan Hospital Fund," Margaret said.
"Through both our donation and my research, we hope to contribute to a better understanding of this heartbreak, ensuring that families who endure similar losses receive the support and recognition they deserve."
Both Mark and Margaret said they hoped their gift would have a lasting impact, providing comfort and support to local families.
On this Giving Day we invite you to join Margaret and Mark in supporting the Logan Hospital Fund.
Whether you are looking for a way to thank the hospital team for the care they have provided, have a personal connection to the hospital or simply wish to contribute to the wellbeing of the local community, your donation can make a difference.
Logan Hospital Fund Community Partnerships Manager Ellen Dann said the Logan Hospital Fund was dedicated to enhancing patient care by funding vital equipment, programs, and services that directly benefit patients and their families.
“Let’s come together to support those who care for us in our most vulnerable moments,” she said.
“Your donation, no matter the size, will help ensure that Logan Hospital continues to provide extraordinary care to those who need it most.
“All donations received on Giving Day will be doubled, meaning double the impact for Logan Hospital.”
Donate today to the Logan Hospital Fund and be a part of something truly meaningful.
