This year's fundraising efforts will be benefitting The Paediatric Unit and NICU at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, Ontario.
Funds are being raised to purchase tangible items for the patients, guardians of patients and nurses in The Paediatric Unit and NICU.
Examples of tangible items include but are not limited to: Gift Cards, Snack Foods, Toys, Drawing Supplies, Mini Fridges, etc.
Rather than donating money to The Southlake Foundation directly (which I did last year and you can read more about on the "2020 Fundraising" page), I've decided to purchase items that can be used TODAY - as soon as they are received, for the patients and nurses who could use them - right away.
When money is donated to the Foundation, it typically goes to the areas that are of most need and items that would be "nice to have" are put lower on the priority list. These items make a difference in the day-to-day for the patients, their families and the nurses who care for them - and I think that these "small" items are of importance TODAY, not a year from now.
As a mom who experienced a hospital stay with a small baby at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2020), I couldn't help but think of the other parents or guardians who unfortunately had to unexpectedly stay in the hospital longer than we did - with little to no access to any resources or the outside world. This prompted me to begin helping in any way I could, beyond donating money to the Foundation.
I am setting a goal for myself. My goal is $5,000. With that money I will be purchasing items and have them shipped directly to the hospital or will be delivering them myself.
I intend on reaching this goal with the help of YOU, my community.
I will be donating a portion myself, however I will need help to reach my goal of $5,000.
Once I have reached my goal of $5,000, I will be placing orders for the items and either having them shipped directly to the hospital or delivering them myself. I am hoping to have this fundraiser completed by this Fall.
Some items may be donated sooner depending on the situation. For example; I have reached out to a protein bar company asking for wholesale pricing on their items, so that I could get more bars for the same amount of money, and they told me that they would donate 20 boxes for FREE! (Again, more about this on the "Updates" page) So, as soon as I receive those bars I will be delivering them to the hospital for the nurses to enjoy.
I continue to reach out to many companies and manufacturers asking for wholesale pricing so that we could put our money to good use and have it stretch to help more people.
If you or anyone you know is able to help in terms of donating items or helping me get in contact with the right people, please reach out to me. It is greatly appreciated.
