Appreciate the gifts received in life and give back
Starship hospital changed our lives. And while our story had a difficult ending, we knew it could become a legacy for good.
Each purchase from our Starship range makes a difference for New Zealand’s tamariki
Starship Foundation has touched the lives of so many families throughout New Zealand, including ours. To celebrate all the amazing work Starship hospital carries out on a daily basis, we have developed a special range of furniture in their name (including tables, chairs, stools and benches).
For every item sold within the Starship range we pledge to donate $10 dollars to the Starship Foundation. To date, our donations now exceed $10,000. With your support we will work hard to continue to grow this.
The why...
There was nothing we could do but pray and trust the surgeons and professional team at Starship to plumb up Casey’s heart so he could live. Casey came through his first operation well considering the immensity of it. After weeks in Starship, we were able to bring him back home to Nelson.
A life changing experience
At 13 months old, Casey was full of personality and taking his first steps when he suddenly became unwell in the night. Starship’s Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) team came to Nelson and took him back to Auckland on the air ambulance. Back at PICU, we were told the dreaded news that Casey’s condition was critical as he had a clot in his heart, showing signs of heart failure. Over the next 48 hours, the doctors and surgeons did all they could in their power to save him. However, we were not able to, and he went to his heavenly home. The experiences we had in our times at Starship will never be forgotten and have become part of who we are.
Casey's legacy
LSG is now recognised internationally with a growing passion for the development and learning environments of children around the world. We are pleased to be able to give back and acknowledge our support for Starship as a campaign supporter of the Starship Foundation.
