Help us raise money

Our team is taking on the Rally for DHK — an action-packed, road trip-style adventure full of clues, puzzles, and surprises — all in support of The Darling Home for Kids. We're rallying together to raise funds for this incredible organization that provides care and comfort to kids with complex medical needs. We’d love your support as we take on the challenge! Every donation brings us closer to our goal and helps make a real difference. Let’s Rally for DHK! 💙

The children at The Darling Home for Kids are among the most medically fragile in Ontario – many face multiple medical challenges, life-limiting genetic conditions, and neurological disorders. DHK's goal is to give these children and families the critical support they need in their caregiving journey so that they know they are not alone. From respite, to residential, and hospice-palliative care, DHK is creating a world where children with complex medical needs can truly thrive.

Meet Rowan: Rowan has SLC13A Epilepsy and frequent seizures. He receives medication and feeds through a G-tube and needs constant monitoring. He is a happy boy with round glasses and a big personality. He loves singing along to Ms. Rachel’s songs and playing with his beloved hedgehog.  At The Darling Home for Kids, Rowan finds friendship, happiness, and specialized medical care all in one place. Because childhood is celebrated and lived fully at DHK, no matter the complexity. Because Joy Lives Here.

Your support is the reason families can access essential respite days and nights, and the reason these children can receive the medical care they deserve, while embracing the joy of childhood – something every child should have the chance to experience.  Every smile and every moment of care is possible because of supporters like you.
