Cause

For nearly 100 years, Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island has responded to the needs of Island kids and youth with complex health challenges. Our Bear Essentials program supports families with health-related travel and specialized equipment costs for their kids, and our Homes Away From Home – Jeneece Place in Victoria and , Q̓ʷalayu House in Campbell River – provide welcoming, low-cost accommodation for out-of-town families so they can stay close to their child in hospital. Thanks to the generosity of donors, we are ensuring kids can access the support they need—today and for generations to come.
