Practice with Purpose

For 2010, the staff at Parivartan Mississauga will be donating all charity class donations to the Sick Kids Foundation.

While pregnant with Damien, Michelle discovered through ultrasounds that Damien was developing kidney abnormalities. Once born, Damien experienced many
challenges and was put into Intensive Care the instant he was born. At less than 2 weeks old, Damien was going to Sick Kids Hospital, where Michelle was able to see what a fantastic hospital this was to treat all kinds of unfortunate illnesses many children had experienced. The staff at Sick Kids helped Damien and put so much attention into his kidney problem, that by 2 months old, the abnormality was no longer an issue. This is when Michelle decided that all through the rest of her life, she would promote the charity of the Sick Kids Foundation.

Through each charity donation through the charity classes, Sick Kids Hospital is able to direct funds to go towards infrastructure and supporting the essential work of physicians, researchers and scientists.

With your help, they can:

• Care for more than 100,000 patients every year
• Perform open-heart surgeries on babies small enough to fit in the palm of your hand
• Correct terrible deformities, heal cancers and treat massive burns
• Invent treatments that 20 years ago people would have dismissed as science fiction
• Continue to have a profound impact on the lives of children through novel, innovative treatment plans
• Make discoveries that mean less pain for children, a higher survival rate and less time in hospital
• Purchase state-of-the-art equipment and update facilities, which enable them to attract the best doctors, researchers and nurses

Parivartan Mississauga charity classes are asking for donations of a minimum of $5. Donations over $20 will be given a tax receipt at the end of the year.

Thank you for helping us support such a great hospital!
