Canuck Place is where memories are made. Over 920 children living with life-threatening illnesses and families from five provincial health regions receive Canuck Place inpatient and community-based care (in home/in hospital). Canuck Place operates 10 patient beds and 8 family suites through two hospices in Vancouver and Abbotsford. Services include in-hospice medical respite and family support, pain and symptom management, provincial 24-Hour Clinical Care Line, music and recreation therapy, education and art, grief, loss, and bereavement counselling, as well as end-of-life care. With donors, research initiatives, our talented team, patient family partners, and over 330 volunteers, we care for children with short lives and the families who love them. Since 2018, Canuck Place has seen a 57% increase in community care consults, resulting in more children with complex medical conditions and their families being cared for in their home communities.
Having an up-to-date Will is important to ensure your loved ones are supported and your wishes become reality. Without a valid Will the laws in your region of residence will decide how your assets are distributed and who should care for minor children or pets. Creating a Will gives you the peace of mind of a well thought-out plan.
This important document can also be a powerful force for good. When creating a Will you can decide to support causes that are important to you.
By adding a gift to your Will, you're deciding today to make a positive impact tomorrow, leaving a better world for generations to come.
Are you considering creating or updating your Will? Let us help. There's no obligation to include a gift to Canuck Place Children's Hospice in your Will, but we hope you'll choose to do so.
