My Story…

Hello! 

As many of you know, I spent 8 years of my career at this beautiful home working in volunteer engagement. Over my 8 years with the organization I had the opportunity to meet the amazing kids and families that access the Home, engaged with hundreds of wonderful volunteers, and worked with a group of kind-hearted, compassionate and exceptional people. 

I’ve participated virtually in Wheels in the past, and this year have joined the Wheels Event Committee to assist in planning and execution of the event (this Home is a hard place to stay away from for long!!). 

We (The Tshuma’s) will be participating virtually by walking 5km as a family. Please support us, in supporting this amazing organization and helping it continue to be a home away from home for so many children who are medically fragile.  

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 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
