Today only – TRIPLE your impact for kids at HSC Children’s Hospital

Your donation today can have TRIPLE the impact for children in need of treatment and care at Manitoba’s only children’s hospital, like Haylie.

Haylie was born with a congenital disorder called Hirschsprung’s Disease (HD), which affects digestion and can be very painful. It’s the same condition her dad Mike was born with, but Haylie’s diagnosis was much more severe. Haylie’s entire large intestine and most of her small intestine were affected.

Within the first two months of Haylie’s life, she needed emergency care at HSC Children’s three times. At two months old, she had surgery to bypass the affected intestines and divert waste to an ostomy bag. Since Haylie’s diagnosis, she has had a total of 30 surgical procedures and has spent over 200 nights in Children’s Hospital. After trying many different treatments, in early 2024 – at the age of five – the surgical team put in Haylie’s ostomy bag again, and now she’s thriving.

Haylie embraces her ostomy bag and even has a “stomy bear” who wears a matching bag cover. Haylie also enjoys swimming, crafts and doing gymnastics with her sister, Jaedyn. Haylie’s parents, Mike and Jayme, are grateful for the amazing care their family continues to receive at Children’s.

Your donations today on Giving Tuesday will be matched and have TRIPLE the impact for children in hospital like Haylie.

Thank you to Qualico and Anonymous Donors for matching donations!
