My Story…
You all know how near and dear DHK is to my heart and I ask for your support as I participate in Wheels for the third time! You also know how much I despise running and how awful of a runner I am. This year, I will be trading in the bike for a pair of running shoes, and will be running my first 5km in support of The Darling Home for Kids. Though this may seem like nothing to many of you, I currently struggle to get from home plate to 1st base when I play ball, so this IS a mighty feat!
I am raising funds for DHK, but will be running Father's Day Weekend in memory of my Dad, my biggest cheerleader. <3
Join me in supporting the children and families who receive services at The Darling Home for Kids by making a donation! Thank you :)
Description
As The Darling Home for Kids works to reintegrate families into their respite and palliative services and offer both in-person and virtual Family Support programs to meet the increasing mental health needs of families that access their programs, they will also be maintaining crisis services and beds available to those who may need them at a moment’s notice. Many new families have been waiting for services for more than two years, and DHK is eager to provide them with the help they need and have been desperately waiting for.
Today, I’m asking for your help.
Your donation is a gift for today, and an investment in the future, for children with complex medical needs and their families. Proceeds from Wheels 2022 presented by Mattamy Homes, will help to support our core programs and services. With your help, we can provide each child with the best care possible. Your funds could provide:
- $30 – a monthly subscription for our kids to enjoy their favourite shows
- $50 – a Family Support session, like Siblings or Parents Connect
- $100 – Music, arts, and craft supplies – for our therapy programs
- $200 – an outing for our residents
- $500 – technology to help our kids attend virtual medical appointments and avoid travel to the hospital
- $1,000 – operational costs associated with a weekend of respite care
- $2,500 – an inclusive event for all of our families at DHK
