Local impact. Islands-wide: Your 2024-25 Annual Impact Report
We’re thrilled to present our 2024/25 Annual Impact Report – a reflection of the incredible difference you made in the lives of Island families.
This report shares the real-life perspective of how your generosity helped ease the stress of families navigating their child’s health challenges. Last year, your support made an incredible impact:
- 787 medical trips, including journeys as far as Port Hardy to Vancouver.
- 302 pieces of specialized health equipment, from communication devices to mobility supports, helped open up new opportunities for kids to learn, play, and grow.
- 274 families stayed at our Homes Away From Home, spending more than 3,600 nights close to the care their children needed.
Inside, you’ll find stories of families whose health journeys were transformed by your generosity. Read about Ellie and how support from Bear Essentials helped her thrive. And Krista, who spent 47 nights at Q̓ʷalayu House during a high-risk pregnancy. You’ll also hear from Trina, a Nanaimo nurse, on the growing need for support in her community. And read the inspiring stories of donors who were moved to raise funds for Island kids.
For nearly 100 years, Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island has supported kids with complex health challenges. Thanks to you, we will continue to do so for generations to come.
