What does joy look like? For families living with rare bleeding disorders, it looks like kids laughing at summer camp, making friends, and feeling completely normal just being kids. And that joy exists because of donors like you.
“What I’d like to tell the donors who have donated is I can’t thank you enough!” says Lara Oulahen, a proud Hemophilia Ontario parent. “Without the donations, Hemophilia Ontario would not be able to do all the amazing things they do for this community. Bringing everybody together, making it such an inviting family where we can connect, share our hardships, and laugh together.”
For Lara, the impact is deeply personal. “You’ve given the kids a sense of normalcy and friendship – just to be kids doing their thing. We couldn’t do it without you donors!”
Your generosity through Federated Health Charities makes this possible. Every dollar helps create spaces where families feel supported and children feel free to dream big, play hard, and live fully.
Your impact is real. If you’ve given, thank you for making a difference. If you haven’t yet, please consider joining us in the next Federated Health Charities campaign. Together, we can keep the laughter going and the community strong.
