BIO - Amanda & Sophie’s Story – Founders of HospitalPJs.com

HospitalPJs.com was founded by Amanda after her daughter, Sophie, suffered a stroke at just four years old and became a frequent patient at the Mater Children’s Hospital. Inspired by the challenges of hospital life—especially the difficulty of dressing a child connected to medical equipment—Amanda began designing bright, hospital-friendly pyjamas that were both practical and uplifting.

What started as a way to bring comfort to Sophie soon grew into a mission to support other children and families during hospital stays. The pyjamas are now donated free of charge, thanks to generous sponsors.

Today, Sophie is 19 and at university, working alongside Amanda to raise $100,000 in honour of Queensland Children’s Hospital’s 10th birthday—continuing their commitment to bringing dignity, colour, and comfort to children in care.

Maggie Cairns is a community facilitator and program lead with a passion

for supporting women and marginalised communities through connection,

dignity, and practical solutions.  Maggie was brought on a year ago to lead Better Together Housing

through the final year of its initial five-year, state-funded chapter. Her role has

been to evolve the program using a strong community development

approach, building relationships, confidence, and outcomes for women over

55 facing housing insecurity.
