The Auckland Hospital's announced a 40-million dollar project to boost its intensive care unit by almost 50 per cent.
It will add ten extra beds, more support spaces for staff and families and a new medical day stay unit over the next few years.
The Government's contributed 25-million dollars and Starship has already raised half of the remaining 15-million dollars.
Ronald McDonald House Chief Executive Wayne Howett says he hopes people will chip in for the rest.
He says as a nation we should hold up our hand and say "yes please" to helping children needing medical attention.
