Thanks to the generosity of our communities, individuals, organizations and local businesses, H2H is in a position to help local families in their time of crisis.
Highway to Healing Secretary Brock Jackson recently highlighted the ongoing support available for families in Osoyoos, Oliver, and Okanagan Falls who must travel for their child's medical care. Highway to Healing provides financial assistance for travel costs—big or small—to help ensure children can access the treatment they need. If you know a family who could benefit, we're here to help.
We are so pleased to share an update about Owen, one of the brave little ones our Highway to Healing community has been able to support. Owen recently underwent surgery, and his parents tell us he showed tremendous courage throughout the process. We are thrilled to hear that the surgery went very well and that he is recovering. Thank you to our supporters for making stories like Owen's possible — your generosity continues to help local families in need.
We're incredibly grateful to Osoyoos Home Building Centre for their generous donation of $528.32, and to The Rusty Nuts Car Club, who raised nearly $2,000 for Highway to Healing through their car rally. Your support helps local families access vital resources during challenging times. Thank you for being part of our healing community!
Thank you to everyone who entered the draw and helped to support families in need. We all appreciate your support.
A big thank you to Tumbleweed Distilling for choosing Highway to Healing as their Easter Market charity. Every dollar raised goes directly to helping local families cover medical travel costs.
