Sarah’s world changed forever the day her son was born—in more ways than she ever imagined.

Shortly after giving birth, Sarah faced a sudden health crisis that nearly took her life. But thanks to the quick action of her care team and the lifesaving equipment at Queensway Carleton Hospital, Sarah returned home to her loving family.

Today, she gets to watch her son grow up. This is the power of care made possible by donors like you.

Right now, your monthly gift will be matched for an entire year—dollar for dollar, up to $15,000—thanks to a group of generous community supporters, including Susan, a proud member of QCH’s Women in Philanthropy. That means twice the care. Twice the impact.

Give monthly. Save lives. qchfoundation.ca/qcares
