Love Helps Us Heal
CHEO salutes the families and friends in our community
who comfort our kids and help them feel better
when they’re sick or injured. Mom and dads,
brothers and sisters, grandmas and grandpas, aunties
and uncles, cousins and neighbours all have an
important part to play.
The support of family and friends can make a measurable
difference to an ailing child and your help for
CHEO can mean the world to a child or teenager who
needs surgery, counseling, or treatment for serious
diseases like cancer, arthritis or diabetes.
The youngest members of our community are part of
our family. CHEO needs your legacy gifts to make
dreams and wishes come true for the children of
tomorrow.
CHEO accepts donations of cash, by personal cheque,
or by credit card. You may also donate securities,
stocks and bonds*, a life insurance policy, a gift in
your will, other planned gifts or gifts in kind. The
CHEO Foundation provides tax receipts for all charitable
gifts to the hospital.
