Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Moms Like Alison

Alison loves being a mom, but bringing life into the world came with some complications.

Alison lives with a variety of mental health diagnoses, including PTSD, anxiety and depression, which she anticipated would bring on additional challenges during pregnancy and child birth.

Alison’s daughter Kinsley was born pre-mature at Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) in July 2020 and she spent a week in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Alison’s second pregnancy was much more complicated. Months before her due date, Alison had hydronephrosis, a build-up of urine in the kidneys, and was admitted to JPCH’s maternal unit. She was in immense pain and her mental health was declining during her nearly three months stay, but Alison says the staff at Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital were a huge help.

“The nurses and doctors were super understanding of my whole situation. Not only are you being cared for, but you’re being heard and they do what they can to make you feel as comfortable as possible,” Alison said.

Alison was induced in August 2022 and her son Boomer was born a month early. He was extremely sick and small, receiving specialized care in Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital NICU for nearly a month before being able to go home. Today, both Boomer and Kinsley are healthy and thriving.

Learn more about Allison’s story and buy tickets to support maternal and children’s care in Saskatchewan today.

The deadline to buy tickets is April 21, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. The draw will be held on April 21, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation 1 – 345 Third Avenue S, Saskatoon, SK. The winner will be notified by email or phone with instructions on claiming the prize.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Cole

Cole lived a normal life in Shellbrook, SK before receiving a diagnosis that completely shocked him and his family. The teen started to have numbness in his nose and hand spasms in 2021. It didn’t initially raise concern, but just to be cautious, Cole saw a pediatrician who referred him to a neurologist.

In March 2022, Cole and his family made their first trip to Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) for an electroencephalogram (EEG) – a test measuring electrical activity in the brain. At first it seemed like Cole could have epilepsy, but an MRI in the summer of 2022 confirmed he had a brain tumour.

While it was an extremely stressful time, Cole and his family were confident in the expertise and experience of the medical team at Saskatchewan’s JPCH. They felt well informed every step of the way, and eventually decided to have Cole’s marble-sized tumour removed in December 2022.

When asked how he felt before his surgery Cole said, “I felt comfortable knowing that I had one of the best surgeons here operating on me. That was definitely reassuring, but I was really just scared about it and the end results.”

Fortunately, Cole’s surgery was a success. Four days later, Cole was discharged from Saskatchewan’s JPCH and has been recovering well. Cole is an avid football fan and while his playing career has been put on pause, he says he’s starting to feel like his normal self again and hopes to be back exercising soon. Learn more about Cole’s story and buy tickets to support him and kids receiving specialized care today.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Connor

Connor from Swift Current, SK and his family’s lives completely changed in a matter of days in September 2021, when what looked like a bloated stomach ended up being a mass on his kidney and he was diagnosed with a stage 4 Wilms tumour. 

After two major surgeries at Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, 14 days of radiation treatment and 25 weeks of chemotherapy, Connor has officially been in remission for over a year. If there wasn’t a dedicated children’s hospital in Saskatchewan, Connor’s family was told they would’ve had

to go out of province for his life-saving treatment.

“We would have been that much further away from our daughter, so it means everything to our family that we were able to be as close to home as we were,” Connor’s Mom, Briana said. Learn more about Connor’s story.

Help kids like Braidyn with your 50/50 tickets purchase!

At the 20 weeks ultrasound, Braidyn’s parents found out there was a pregnancy complication called placenta previa. In January 2021, mom was admitted to Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital with severe hemorrhaging and they knew baby was going to arrive early. 

After a couple of roller-coaster days in the hospital, Braidyn was born, 9 weeks early, weighing 4 pounds 1 ounce. “I remember getting a glimpse of him as they brought him past us. His chest looked like it was caved in,” said Jess, Braidyn’s mom. Braidyn was rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where he stayed for 29 days before he was able to go home for the first time.

“Our experience at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital was wonderful. The staff were beyond amazing and did everything right to help our little guy and myself have the best chance. The doctors and nurses ensured we were kept abreast of progress, issues, and plans and in a way we understood. Even though I wanted nothing more than to bring my little guy home, I knew it was the best possible place he could be,” said Jess. Learn more about Braidyn’s story.

Purchase your 50/50 tickets and help moms like Kyla!

Kyla and her family got an exciting surprise when they found out she was pregnant at the age of 41. She had been told conceiving naturally may not happen at her age. 

At 36 weeks, Kyla started being monitored weekly at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) until the baby was born. At 40 weeks, Kyla was scheduled for an induction due to maternal age and gestational diabetes. Beautiful baby Hazel arrived happy and healthy weighing 9lbs. Kyla and her family were extremely pleased with their experience as she reflected on her maternal journey.

“Being able to stay in one room the entire time was a huge difference from when I had my first child 14 years ago. There was more privacy, dignity, and respect during every stage, and having my own bathroom and shower was a game changer. It was so great to be able to stay in the same room after giving birth, and for my husband to have a bed to sleep in as well. Thank you to Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital for putting women’s health as a top priority, especially for such an important time in our lives!” said Kyla. Learn more about Kyla’s story.

Purchase your 50/50 tickets and help kids like Elara!

Elara lives with complex care needs, after being born with a rare congenital heart defect. Her chronic health conditions have led to numerous stays at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital and as a result, Elara was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“PTSD is a challenge in kids because, to be frank, Elara only knows this life that she has,” said Elara’s mom, Tara. “Elara doesn’t talk about the things that she has been through, she endures them. Despite all that, she loves going to the hospital, and we have always taken solace in that because it’s a testament to the care she gets there. But, we’ve learned that it is also related to PTSD, because she feels the safest at the hospital. It’s where she gets rescued.” Learn more about Elara’s story.
