My Story…
As most of you will know, I have participated in the WHEELS FOR THE DARLING HOME FOR KIDS cycling event for many years and I am once again returning to the road this year on Sunday, June 23rd.
The Darling Home for Kids is a very special organization focused on providing respite and palliative care for many of the over 70,000 children in Ontario who are classified as medically complex. They fill a need not otherwise readily available to these children and their families.
Please join me in helping to support the Darling Home in their goal to provide each child with the best care possible!
Thank you,
Jim
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
