Special friend of Logan Hospital, Patrick Meszaro, has been busier than Santa’s elves, building a record number of LEGO creations for children in hospital.
The little legend returned for the fourth year in a row to put smiles on the faces of children who found themselves in hospital over the festive period.
Following last year’s media coverage, the community rallied behind Patrick’s cause, with LEGO donations pouring in from far and wide.
The additional LEGO meant Patrick was able to surpass his goal of 200 creations, with a final count of 234 creations.
Patients and LEGO fans Archie Sanders and Samuel Kuip were delighted to receive a visit - and a special gift - when Patrick personally delivered his creations to the Children’s Inpatient Unit (CIU).
The CIU team said they were incredibly proud of Patrick for surpassing his 2025 goal of 200 creations and highlighted the ongoing impact of his kind act.
“Thanks to Patrick’s generosity, the spirit of Christmas lives on in our wards well into the year,” they said.
“Donating so many creations means we can hand out gifts year-round.
“They are a particularly welcome distraction for children undergoing tough procedures or those staying with us for extended periods.”
Patrick is so dedicated to his mission that even the family’s upcoming move to Adelaide won’t slow him down.
He has already set a new goal of 300 donations for 2026 and his mum Nerida said the family was planning their trip back to Logan to keep the tradition alive.
Well done, Patrick. Your kindness and warm heart show the true meaning of Christmas and community!
