Theodore
1,500 km to healthcare
Don
4,000 km to cancer treatment
Sabrina
450 km to healthcare, every 3 months
Diagnosis: Heart Defect (HLHS)
Diagnosis: Rare type of cancer (ACC)
Diagnosis: Interstitial Cystitis
At 8 months, Theodore has already had one heart surgery and awaits his second, with a third planned for age two or three.
The specialized cardiac care he needs is in Toronto, 1,500 kilometers away from his home in Saint John, New Brunswick.
Thanks to Hope Air, his family don’t have to relocate for his lifesaving medical care and today Theo is thriving.
Don is battling a rare, deemed inoperable cancer called Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. When treatment in Kelowna wasn’t possible, his family found hope nearly 4,000 km away in Toronto. Hope Air covered their travel, making life-saving surgery possible. Today, Don is on the path to recovery, and his family is profoundly grateful for the life-changing support they received.
Since childhood, Sabrina has lived with chronic and worsening pain.
Living in a small town in Northern Ontario, she was unable to access the care she needed close to home until she found Hope Air.
After six surgeries and countless procedures, her health journey is ongoing. She travels every three months for appointments, but with peace of mind.
