Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Mateo!

For months, Mateo was lethargic, losing weight and struggled to eat and keep food down. He was not his usual silly, caring and sweet self. Test results showed extremely high levels of ketones and sugar. Mateo was sent to his local hospital, where further testing confirmed what his mom, Danielle, had feared: Mateo had Type 1 diabetes.

His blood sugar level was over 45 mmol/L; 4-7mmol/L is typical. He was in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening condition, and was close to falling into a coma.

Mateo was quickly transported to Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, where he could receive the world-class, life-saving care he needed.

“The team at Jim Pattison was amazing,” said Danielle. “They didn’t waste a second. Without the pediatric diabetic team at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, our son would not be here today.”

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Taleigha!

When Taleigha was born, doctors noticed an atypical head shape, with some bulging of her forehead on one side.

After receiving some scans, she was diagnosed with unicoronal craniosynostosis, a condition in which one side of the skull fuses too early, leading to headaches, eye pain and changes in appearance.

Specialists at Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital recommended a craniotomy, a surgical procedure where a neurosurgeon removes a section of the skull.

“From the first time we met the team and learned how the procedure would work, it gave us hope and confidence,” said Lolito, Taleigha’s dad.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Kolbie!

In April 2023, Kolbie became increasingly thirsty and made frequent trips to the restroom, early signs that led to an unimaginable diagnosis. 

After further testing she was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, a rare condition caused by a thickening on her pituitary stalk.

What followed were months of testing at Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH). In March, the family’s worst fears were confirmed when a routine scan revealed the presence of a brain tumour. “When we found out about Kolbie’s diagnosis, our hearts broke,” said Vicki, Kolbie’s mom.

Since that diagnosis, Kolbie has undergone extensive treatment at JPCH, including chemotherapy and frequent blood work, transfusions and hospital stays. Despite the physical toll, Kolbie has remained strong.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Carson!

What began as a simple itch on his arms and legs led Carson, a volleyball and hockey player from Montmartre, Sask., to Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) for life-saving care.

In the summer of 2024, the itching intensified, causing sores. By December, Carson developed night sweats and in February a persistent cough, but bloodwork during those months came back normal. In late February, his cough worsened, prompting further tests. Then one phone call changed everything: Carson had cancer.

Carson was admitted to JPCH that night for a two-week stay. The next day, he received a PICC line and underwent a biopsy. In early March 2025, Carson was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

“The world stood still. Nothing can prepare you in life for finding out your child has cancer. We cried and cried for about a week,” said his mother, Wendy.

Your 50/50 purchase helps Saskatchewan kids like Isabel!

When Isabel’s femur suddenly broke shortly after birth, her family from Yorkton, Sask., knew something wasn’t right. Isabel spent a month in the NICU while specialists worked to determine the cause of her broken bone and low muscle tone. Test results later confirmed she had spinal muscular atrophy.

When JPCH opened in 2019, the family moved to Saskatoon to be closer to the specialized care Isabel requires.

Isabel is a regular patient at JPCH. She is followed by the feeding tube team for her G-tube, has undergone numerous X-rays and receives physiotherapy, speech and occupational therapy, along with support from a social worker.

“Our experience at JPCH has been incredible. I could not imagine the stays and treatments in a hospital that is not geared towards kids. It has made all the difference in our stays and visits there,” said Marjorie, Isabel’s mom.

Your 50/50 purchase helps Saskatchewan kids like Ivy!

When happy four-year-old Ivy, from Regina, Sask., began screaming in pain from basic movement, her family never imagined it would lead to a 31-day stay at Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH).

In April 2024, Ivy’s pain worsened, and after a distressing incident at gymnastics, her parents rushed her to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. Her condition continued to quickly deteriorate, and she was transferred to JPCH, where she was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. 

Thanks to expert care at JPCH, Ivy has regained her ability to walk and her sparkle. “My child is thriving thanks to the care during our admission,” said Shandra, Ivy’s mom. Click HERE to continue reading Ivy’s story of strength.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Lillian

Twelve-year-old dancer and Jellycat collector Lillian, from Saskatoon, Sask., has faced a tough battle with an eating disorder, but she hasn’t faced it alone. With the support of her mother, Jeanna, and the compassionate team at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH), she’s found strength through the hardest moments.

In 2020, Lillian’s height and weight fell below growth chart standards, and after tests provided no answer, a pediatrician suspected an eating disorder. Lillian was diagnosed with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), but by fall 2024, her health deteriorated further, leading to a second diagnosis: anorexia.

Following an intensive nine-week treatment program, including a nasogastric tube to support her nutritional needs, Lillian continues her journey with weekly follow-ups at JPCH with her doctor, dietitian and psychologist team, bringing hope for brighter days ahead. Click HERE to continue reading Lillian’s story of strength.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Hudson!

Hudson, a ten-year-old from Langenburg, Sask., is an adventurous boy who loves hockey, dirt biking and golfing. But in late 2023, his world changed when what started as a seemingly mild ear infection turned into a life-threatening medical crisis. 

Despite treatment for the ear infection, his condition kept worsening. On January, 2024, a CT scan at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) revealed a large tumour pressing on his brain stem. Surgeons removed 99 per cent of the mass, later diagnosed as Medulloblastoma SHH TP-53, a rare brain cancer.

“From the moment we arrived at JPCH, we knew we were in the best hands,” said Hudson’s mom, Kristi. Click HERE to continue reading Hudson’s story of strength.
