Building a spaceship
Donation protected
When you gift this moment, you're giving 10-year-old Catlin more time to play LEGO with Mom.
This small donation means a child like Catlin can stay close to his family at Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon—a temporary home for families who must travel to Vancouver for their seriously ill child’s medical treatment. For Catlin, the best part of staying at the House was building fantastical worlds of LEGO with his Mom.
The Walkus Family
When Catlin was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder called Aplastic Anemia, his mother left their home in Port Hardy for BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver. For over 100 days, Catlin received treatment, while the Walkus family were able to stay together at Ronald McDonald House.
