When a community rallies together, everything is possible
Join us for 12 hours of live radio, community, and heartwarming stories—all in support of our Homes Away From Home: Q̓ʷalayu House and Jeneece Place.
We’re rallying to raise funds to support Island families who must travel for their children’s health care.
Did you know it costs $150 to provide one night’s stay at our Homes Away From Home?
Thanks to a generous community of donors, families only pay a small portion of that cost—alleviating their financial stress so they can focus on what matters most: their child’s well-being.
Whether it’s a planned trip or a sudden emergency, every family deserves a safe, welcoming place to land. Every donation helps cover the cost of a family’s stay, easing the financial and emotional stress of being far from home.
Help us turn compassion into comfort—one night at a time.

“We’d visit the baby daily but then come back to Nanaimo at least once a week. It meant having a lot less stress and a lot more time to visit my kid” —Bryan, Nanaimo.
