Serving First Nation Children and their Families
Our ministry offers support to First Nation families with children who have to travel great distances from their own communities to receive intensive or ongoing medical care.
Offering Friendship, Comfort and Support
Families often arrive late at night with little more than what they are wearing. We offer emergency supplies such as food, blankets and toiletries for parents who need to stay alongside their children in their hospital rooms until accommodations are arranged. We also help with shopping trips for clothes as needed, and offer comfort, prayer, and friendship.
We work to ease any sense of isolation and to reduce anxiety so that families can focus their attention upon what matters most.
Helping with Essential Communications
Cultural and language differences can sometimes be daunting. If requested, we provide support in meetings with doctors and hospital staff and send summaries of medical reports to family members waiting at home. We can also assist families in advocating for themselves and their loved ones.

Offering Compassion and Hope
We also provide pastoral and spiritual care, if requested, applying the love we ourselves have first learned from Christ who showed compassion to all by coming to the world, living amongst us and revealing the true nature of God’s love upon the cross. His atoning death was offered up for all people equally and His resurrection gives us hope in life, now and forevermore.
