Our Holiday Wish List is here!

Help Fulfill our Holiday Wish List to help kids like Zianna thrive!

When Zianna was born, she had no vital signs. It took her little body too long to take in oxygen, which resulted in a brain injury and seizures. She was immediately rushed to the NICU, where she fought hard. A few days later, she was transferred to CHEO… and the open arms of caring people like you.

50 years ago, Zianna may not have survived her first night. Pediatric medicine has come so far, so fast. Kids these days are surviving emergencies, surgeries, and diagnoses that would have been nearly impossible to beat a generation ago.

But at CHEO, we want to help kids do more than just survive. We want to give them the support they need to live their very best, fullest, and most hopeful lives.

Your gift this holiday season can help us do exactly that.

  • $25 provides arts & crafts supplies to help kids like Zianna cope with chronic pain
  • $50 provides adaptive toys for kids with various disabilities
  • $75 helps kids “practice” for an MRI scan with virtual reality
  • $100 helps care for the carers by renovating our NICU lounge
  • $125 helps keep every dose of medication exactly right with a Smart IV Display
  • $875 helps monitor babies’ brains in the NICU
  • An amount of your choice helps keep us prepped and ready to respond however a child needs!

None of these items are covered by government funding. Instead, we rely on the kindness of friends like you to help us purchase them. With each gift, you’re investing in a child’s future, helping them to live their very best, fullest, and most hopeful lives. Thank you!
