Help patients like Kim get their lives back!

Purchase a 50/50 ticket and you will be helping West Park patients like Kim Verwaayen. Kim was enjoying her best life as a university professor in London, Ontario when, in 2017, she was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and just 54 per cent lung function. Her coughing fits were so severe they often left her incapacitated and teaching, even socializing, seemed out of reach.

 Kim is a vibrant, energetic woman who says that before her illness she was “always full of life.” She was starting to despair of ever getting back to the woman she was, but luckily received a life-saving referral to West Park’s Respiratory Rehabilitation Service. At West Park she was taught to manage her condition – the key to her recovery – and has since reclaimed both her zest for life and her teaching career.

West Park Healthcare Centre is in the west end of Toronto and provides specialized rehabilitative and complex care after a life‐altering illness or injury such as lung disease, amputation, stroke, and traumatic musculoskeletal injuries.

YOU COULD WIN A CASH PRIZE AND HELP WEST PARK PATIENTS!

Purchase a 50/50 ticket and you will be helping West Park patients like Rashmi Sanjay. In early 2017, this 40-year-old mother of two was diagnosed with a rare tumour on her spinal cord that threatened to paralyze her from the neck down.

Rashmi underwent a six-hour surgery, with no guarantee that she would ever walk again. Seven days later, she arrived at West Park Healthcare Centre.

“I came in on a stretcher – I couldn’t walk, I had pain in my neck, and I needed help using the washroom and getting dressed,” she recalls. To add to the challenge, intense pain interfered with her rehabilitation.

But Rashmi had a goal – to get back to her children, Rhea and Eshan, who were nine and seven at the time.

“The therapists at West Park were phenomenal,” she says. “They didn’t tell me what to do – they listened to how I was feeling and worked around that.”

She was buoyed up by the support she received from the entire West Park community. Even the cleaning staff got to know her, and urged her to keep going. “Everyone was so positive and encouraging,” she says. “It really gives you a boost to know that everyone is standing with you.”

Less than four weeks into her stay, Rashmi returned home. “Walking into my own house and seeing the children and their ‘welcome home’ cards was very emotional. I couldn’t have been happier.”

You can find a video of Rashmi’s inspirational journey on West Park’s website, along with the other videos in West Park’s “I Am Not Done” series.  

Don’t miss your chance to win a cash prize while championing a great cause, helping West Park patients get back to their families and the lives they love. The perfect win/win!
