VANCOUVER, BC, May 3, 2025 — Try your luck in St. Paul’s Foundation’s 50/50 raffle. One lucky winner will take home half the jackpot, while the other half will go directly toward supporting patients, long-term care residents, and their families with compassionate, comforting care – today, and for years to come.
Pediatric Comfort Kits: a small treasure that has a big impact on care
For a child in pain, the emergency department can feel like an unfamiliar world: bright lights, strange sounds, new faces, and the uncertainty of what comes next. Every moment can feel endless, adding to their distress – and their parents’ worry.
Because of raffle supporters like you, we can provide pediatric comfort kits to help relax children through distraction and play, as well as provide an outlet for creativity and communication. The comfort kits include fun items like colouring books and crayons, stickers, card games, squeeze toys, and bubble wands.
The Emergency Department at Mount Saint Joseph has had the largest growth in pediatric visits in the region; currently about 10% of daily visits are from young patients. At the Teck Emergency Centre at St. Paul’s Hospital, there were 1,673 pediatric visits last year – a 75% jump compared to the average over the past decade.
With your participation in our raffle, these kits are helping our health care teams deliver faster, compassionate care – enabling young patients to find relief, heal more quickly, and return home sooner.
A humble hallmark of the compassionate care offered to patients and residents throughout Providence.
