Then personalize your seasonal message and share it with friends, family & colleagues. It’s that easy! Just send your card and spread the word that you’re supporting BC’s kids with special needs.
Give now and double your donation
Your gift to Variety’s Tree of Hearts will be matched by John & Cathy Vandervelde up to $100,000.
Your donation will go twice as far and will provide a family with the perfect holiday gift … peace of mind knowing that their child will be receiving the support they so urgently need.
Plus every weekday from December 5 to 30, one luck donor’s message will be read live on Global BC’s Global News Morning!
Meet Ace
Because of your support, Variety was able to provide Ace with an adaptive stroller to improve his mobility.
Ace is a 5-year-old boy from Abbotsford who was diagnosed with Autism and Global Developmental Delay. Because of his poor impulse control, Ace frequently falls when walking or stumbles into objects. To keep him safe, Variety provided Ace with an adaptive stroller which allows him to participate in outdoor activities with his family & friends. “The stroller has vastly improved Ace’s quality of life,” says Ace’s Mom, Lazilat. “And we are just so grateful to Variety & their generous donors.”
