When you give to the IWK Foundation, you are helping to change the lives of the women, children and youth who depend on the IWK.
We are honoured to share the stories of courageous patients, amazing caregivers and generous supporters who know the value of the IWK to the Maritime community.
Meet some of the people who bring the IWK to life every day.
At the very start of December 2017, Anabelle Cormier was brought into the world and was seemingly a healthy baby.
Arauco Canada Ltd has been a longstanding supporter of the IWK Foundation, making their first donation twenty-four years ago in 1997.
The Pothier family never expected to welcome their third child into the world during a global pandemic. They also never expected that their baby boy would require life-saving care in the IWK’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Canon’s journey with the IWK began in March 2021. Eleven-year-old Canon was experiencing severe stomach pain, so his parents decided to take him to the IWK. Over the next two days Canon underwent many tests and scans, where a mass was found on one of his kidneys.
When Ethan Hackney’s parents, Jenny and Paul, discovered that their two-week-old baby needed surgery for a common digestive issue, they never imagined it would be the best thing that’s ever happened to them.
