Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Madison!

A routine family drive to the lake turned into a life-threatening emergency when nine-month-old Madison, from Porcupine Plain, Sask., lost consciousness in the car. Her grandmother, a registered nurse, noticed Madison had turned purple and unresponsive. 

Rushed to a rural hospital and later transferred to Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH), doctors discovered a large brain tumour pressing on her breathing centre. She underwent complex surgery to remove the tumour, which was identified as Anaplastic Ependymoma, a rare and aggressive cancer.

Her family remains grateful. “The medical professionals at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital saved Madison’s life,” said Brittany. Click HERE to continue reading Madison’s story of strength.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Pryce!

Patricia’s high-risk pregnancy required frequent trips from Pelican Narrows, Sask., to Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) for ultrasound appointments every three to four weeks. Due to complications, Patricia underwent two maternal procedures to prevent miscarriage or premature delivery. However, despite their efforts, Pryce was born premature.

Born at 23 weeks and three days, Pryce weighed only one pound, six ounces—a true miracle baby. Pryce was intubated as soon as he was born and was on ventilation for three months. Pryce also required surgery for inguinal hernias, laser eye surgery and PEG-J feeding tube surgery.

From birth, Pryce spent seven months in the NICU at JPCH, and was called a “senior resident” by staff members due to his lengthy stay. Afterward, he was transferred to the PICU for a few weeks, then to the Pediatric Unit. Click HERE to continue reading Pryce’s story of strength.
