Raise money for The Darling Home for Kids
The Darling Home for Kids exists to alleviate the burden on the healthcare system and provide a bridge between hospital and home for families with a medically complex child. Our goal is to give these children and families the critical support they need in their caregiving journey. While parents and caregivers can receive a much-needed break from the physical, emotional and financial demands associated with 24-hour caregiving, we provide opportunities to these special children in our care to allow them to play, grow and thrive.
Consider This:
37% of primary caregivers of children and youth with medical complexities express feelings of anger, distress, depression or feel they are unable to continue in their caregiving activities (Children and Youth With Medical Complexity in Canada R. Ottawa, ON: CIHIH; 2020)
97% of our families report that regular respite care at The Darling Home for Kids is what prevents them from caregiver burnout (Family Survey Results, Winter 2023)
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 2023 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
