Postal Delays

As you may have heard, there is currently a postal disruption. This time of year is critical to our fundraising efforts, and your support is more crucial than ever to us and those we serve.

We deeply appreciate your generosity, which makes possible innovative research, compassionate care for patients, and life-enriching activities for residents in long-term care. This holiday season, you can still make a meaningful impact by donating online or by giving us a call at 604-682-8206.

Thank you for being such a valued part of our community. We couldn’t do this without you.
