Become a monthly donor
Every month, Monthly Donors show up for this community.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer or a blood disorder, the whole family's world stops. Caregivers must navigate doctor's appointments, treatments, managing side effects and the mental health of the family. Siblings have to quickly adjust to a whole new dynamic at home. Kids find themselves in a scary, grown-up world of doctors and hospitals, all while navigating the physical challenges of cancer or blood disorder treatment.
Families need support throughout their journey. Monthly giving helps make sure WCK can be there when they do. These families deserve support every day, all year round. They need a community they can count on throughout the weeks, months, and years that follow diagnosis.
At WCK, we provide food, resources, social connection, and mental health support to B.C. families navigating childhood cancer and blood disorders. Our programs are shaped by what families tell us they need, so we can help ease the everyday challenges that come with a life-changing diagnosis.
Join us as a monthly donor today at whatever amount feels right and meaningful for you, and know that you are helping a family every day. Your ongoing support gives us the stability to plan ahead, the flexibility to respond when families' needs change, and the ability to grow our programs and reach more families across B.C.
What Monthly giving gives families
Monthly donors give families a dependable community they can count on, and help make it possible for WCK to continue providing practical support, connection, and moments of joy throughout a family's journey.
That support can ease financial and emotional pressures, provide practical relief, and give families more time and energy to focus on what matters most: their child. Your monthly gift helps make sure WCK can keep showing up.
“The food program has been so helpful. When my family was split between 2 houses there was food for everyone which helped greatly. And then when we were home but spending long days at the hospital there were some ready made meals that were quick to make. It helped financially but also took away the mental burden of thinking about meals every day so I could focus on my child’s recovery.”
-Oncology Parent
Hear from our monthly donors
"Monthly giving works really well for me. It gives me confidence that I’m supporting an organization that I love on a regular basis, even if it's just a little bit. If I have a little more available at special times of the year, then I can give what's possible at that point. I feel better knowing that WCK is getting a reliable donation from me, and it's one less thing on my to-do list."
Laurel, WCK monthly donor since September 2020
"I choose monthly giving as it is a convenient way to regularly support WCK throughout the year. This allows me to plan financially, knowing a regular amount is consistently being given each month. I appreciate the option to cover processing fees, so that WCK can maximize my donation and make every dollar go further. This planning also allows me to contribute in other ways throughout the year – either through finances or volunteering."
Paul, WCK monthly donor since May 2019
