Our story…

Such an amazing cause supporting children and families in need. Minerva recently found out about the Darling House and did not hesitate to put up her hand to help. This walk is the first event we will have the honour of participating in and we hope you can come out and walk with us (aka join the team!). Or if you cannot walk, please feel free to lighten your wallet a little for a great cause!! Much appreciated.

We will doing the 5 km hike option! Sun., June 23, 2024 10:15 a.m.- 5 km hike route departs

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
