"Allyn, Levi and I are always bumping into each other at the hospital and they were keen to get on board and pay it forward for all the help the organisation has given us in our times of need."
The menu, set up to feed 120 families and staff, includes roast pork, chicken schnitzel, spaghetti and meatballs, Greek and pasta salads, cake, ice cream, fruit salad and eclairs.
Ms Boyd said she was keen to help out because she understood what it was like to be at the bedside of her sick child.
"Food is the last thing on your mind and when you do start to get hungry, you don't want to go far from your child so you end up eating from the vending machine or cafe.
"This initiative means there is one less thing for these families to worry about, even if it is just for a night."
Ms Himona said they aimed to raise $1400 to cover the cost of food and had so far raised $1000. "Things like travel costs will probably come out of our own pocket, we would just like to raise enough money to cover the food costs."
