Children's Hospital of Manitoba
According to The Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba "The Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba is an organization that ensures that kids who get treated at the Winnipeg Children's Hospital receives the best medicine as possible". To make this achievable," they try to raise money so the kids can get the treatment they need. So far over 130,000 children get treated at the Children's Hospital each year".
Ways They Help:
Brittney Fox
According to The Children's Hospital of Manitoba, "Brittney Fox is considered one of their "Champion Child". This is because Brittney Fox didn't experience a normal childhood like other children. "She was diagnosed with Cystic Hygroma at a very early age of 11 months. It's because of her sickness that made Brittney paralyzed on her left side, and was unable to speak". However, because of the doctors and nurses at The Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, "Brittney was still able to have fun just like other kids "I remember people coming to my room to play games with me, and playing Bingo through the TV," says Brittney. "I remember it was fun." Today, Brittney thankfully has not visited the hospital for several years", thanks to the hard work, medication, and of course the miraculous touch of our God.The Manitoba Institute of Child Health (MICH)
According to Winnipeg Free Press "The Manitoba Institute of Child Health (MICH) is an organization that tries to learn more about diseases, and how to help cure kids". They are also working to try to "raise $20 million with the help of the Be My Hero Capital Campaign". Please watch this video for more information on The Manitoba Institute of Child Health.
Winnipeggers "Walk For A Miracle"
According to CTV Winnipeg "On June, 11 2011, two hundred people walked. They began at the St. Vital Park early in the morning, in able to raise money to research more about diseases and to also purchase more medicine, equipment for the Children's Hospital".
Thief Steals Children's Hospital Donation Box From Store
According to CTV Winnipeg "On March 25, 2011, the surveillance tape caught a man take the Children's Hospital donation box at a Winnipeg store. He took the donation box while the clerk was helping a customer. There was at least $2,000 in the donation box, which is a huge amount that could of been given to the hospital, said Lesia Sianchuk who is the executive director of the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba".
I know this story doesn't really represent how The Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba helps others. However, I think it does show how some people out there are self-centered, and they do not even realize how difficult it may be for the sick kids and how they encountered their sickness at a very young age; and I think they should because, you have to admit that whether you have kids or not, kids are a great way to make us smile. Therefore, I find it really depressing of how this man, did not even care to think about the kids who are suffering at such a young age.
In conclusion, I am very glad to have a Children's Hospital Foundation in Manitoba; knowing this organization is doing its best to help cure kids all over Manitoba. I hope more people continue to donate and support, for its definitely for a good cause.

ReplyDeleteI like how you taught me so much stuff about the Children hospital. Like over 13000 children get treated each year.
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog post. I like how organized you are with your citations and references.
ReplyDeleteWell my mom works at Health Science Center and she told me to switch to this foundation. New things come up and you learn about those new topics. Thanks for teaching me about the C.H. Foundation. Keep up the good work (and you might be better than Mr. Hainstock).
