The Humpty team has spoken to the frontline doctors and nurses and their message is very clear. Humpty’s work has never been more important than it is today.
Communities across Australia rely heavily on Humpty to provide the equipment to save kids’ lives both in rural and regional hospitals. However, like so many other charities, COVID-19 has impacted us significantly and there is no doubt we are facing uncertain and challenging times with our major fundraising events unfortunately being cancelled for this year.
Humpty's incoming donations and pledges for 2020 will be substantially impacted - this is not only devastating for the Humpty Dumpty Foundation but more importantly the hospitals that rely on us for life-saving medical equipment.
Simply, we need your help.
Babies will continue to be born and kids will continue to get sick during this pandemic. As the focus and funding of our medical systems have moved towards the peaking adult complications of COVID-19 the Humpty Dumpty Foundation needs to support, assist and advocate for the everyday paediatric needs that will always be there.
Humpty needs your support to ensure we can continue to provide our hospitals with the equipment they urgently need. It shouldn’t matter where you live, but sadly it does.
We are so grateful for your incredible commitment to the Humpty Dumpty Foundation and for your contribution and support to the lives of countless children across the nation.
Questions
How is Humpty helping?
In these uncertain times, one thing is for certain - Australian hospitals need life-saving equipment more than ever. Through the support of our corporate partners and donors, Humpty has been able to ease the load for frontline doctors and nurses around the nation by providing much needed equipment to hospitals in metropolitan and regional areas.
Children get sick across Australia - in metropolitan areas where a hospital may be just down the road and in regional areas where the closest hospital may be hours away. Throughout this pandemic, Humpty’s goals remain unchanged– and one of those is to help kids in the bush.
This year alone we have already delivered 76 pieces of medical equipment to 51 metropolitan and regional hospitals across the country including Milton Ulladulla Hospital, Katherine Hospital, Bentley Hospital, Longreach Hospital, Burnside War Memorial Hospital and Central Gippsland Health Service.
How is Humpty supporting our frontline workers?
Our commitment through the COVID-19 crisis is to remain as flexible as possible to ensure equipment approved by our Medical Sub-Committee, pledged by our generous donors and delivered to the hospitals as quickly as possible so, together, we can do our bit to ease the load on our frontline professionals.
How many hospitals does Humpty support?
To date, Humpty has provided medical equipment to Paediatric Wards, Neonatal Units, Maternity and Emergency Departments in 419 hospitals and health service centres right across Australia and this hospital list continues to grow.
How does Humpty make a tangible difference?
One of Humpty's breakthrough fundraising methods was the creation of Humpty’s Wish List in 2001. Each piece of medical equipment item that appears on the Wish List has been specifically requested by a hospital to meet an urgent need and is approved by our Medical Sub-Committee.
Humpty’s Wish List provides donors the opportunity to choose a piece of medical equipment within their budget for a hospital of their choice. Each piece of medical equipment donated is purchased directly by the Humpty Dumpty Foundation and delivered to the nominated hospital. All medical equipment purchases and conations received are 100% tax deductible and make a significant difference to the health and well-being of hundreds of thousands of children across Australia.
Humpty’s Wish List makes a real tangible difference to Australian hospitals, ensuring they have equitable access to medical equipment they need.
In NSW, the Humpty Dumpty Foundation is the largest supplier of children’s medical equipment, behind the State Government, and is working hard with health officials and communities to ensure all states and territories have the equipment they need.
Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes, all donations of $2 and over are tax deductible.
