VANCOUVER, BC, September 6, 2022 – This is your chance to WIN and change the lives of persons with disabilities.

Half the jackpot will go directly towards helping send children and adults with disabilities to an accessible and inclusive summer camp, and the other half going to the winner!

More than 25% of British Columbians identify with having a disability, and when YOU Purchase a Happy Camper 50/50 Raffle Ticket, you’re helping to benefit families like Nansey, whose daughter, Tina, considers Easter Seals camp an essential part of life.

She talks about it for months beforehand, and months afterwards. She just gets to celebrate life and enjoy it. It’s irreplaceable.”

Nansey, mother of Tina who has Cerebral Palsy and has attended camp for 10 years

Your Impact at Royal Columbian Hospital:

When you play, our patients win. Like David Asencio, who received above and beyond care during his stay at Royal Columbian:

 

Seemingly out of nowhere, David had trouble breathing. No chest pains, but his daughter Angie could see the 76-year-old’s face was turning purple. After a 9-1-1 call, paramedics took David to Royal Columbian Hospital, where a large blood clot was found to be dangerously lodged in his lungs.

Fortunately, David did not have any serious problems with blood pressure or oxygenation. That allowed the medical team to bypass some of the more urgent treatments in favour of blood thinners to help stabilize the clot until the body can get rid of it naturally.

David was placed in Royal Columbian’s High Acuity Unit, which is meant for patients who need closer observation than a general unit but don’t require the full resources of the Intensive Care Unit.

“English is not his first language, and he has difficulty hearing,” notes his daughter. “But [Royal Columbian’s team] was very thorough in taking care of him, and somehow the staff would send someone who understood more of his language. That really made him very comfortable.”

After a few days, David was discharged from Royal Columbian but in need of follow up care to further understand the cause of the large clot. Being new to the country with no family physician, the family is grateful to Dr. Chu for seeing David through the next few months of his treatment.

Your participation in the lottery helps us support the highest level of care for patients like David.
