Established in 1986 and last year celebrated its 20th Anniversary, the David Foster Foundation exists to provide financial and emotional support to families of British Columbian children who are in need of life saving organ transplants. With the success of last year's event we are looking forward to assisting more families across Canada. The Foundation supports and assists families in a variety of ways including:
|
Assisting with non-medical expenses from a child’s initial assessment, through surgery and postoperative check-ups
|
|
Providing transportation to hospitals, often outside of British Columbia
|
|
Providing accommodation for parents, often for lengthy periods, enabling them to remain close to their children
|
|
Assisting with meals, long distance calls and other expenses that may include mortgage or rent payments
|
|
Liaising with agencies that provide counseling, childcare and other support services for the families during this extremely stressful time
|
Lessening financial burdens and offering emotional support is the spirit of the Foundation. For many families, it is a relief just knowing there are people they can turn to who care about their situation and can do something to help.
Promoting public awareness of organ donation is also vital to The David Foster Foundation as it is fundamental to the second chance at a life these children receive. |
