Tom Huang endorses the power of community and collaboration at Canuck Place

I've seen the profound impact Canuck Place’s compassionate and dedicated care has on families navigating the heart-wrenching path of pediatric palliative care. In my role as a Program Lead for the Canuck Place Connectors, I am privileged to advocate for children and families with complex medical needs, and to support the important care provided by the Canuck Place team.

I am deeply moved by the compassion, resilience, and dedication demonstrated by Canuck Place. It is this pursuit of providing care and comfort, at no cost to families that inspired me to get involved and ultimately join the Canuck Place Connectors program.

The Canuck Place Connectors program is a unique opportunity for community leaders and philanthropists to engage in meaningful support through personal or business donations, or by organizing fundraising efforts. This program not only provides vital financial support for the care Canuck Place provides, but also builds a community of like-minded individuals committed to making a lasting difference.

As a Canuck Place Connector, you become part of an intentional and supportive network, united in a mission to enrich the lives of children and families across BC and the Yukon who need Canuck Place care.

As a Connectors program lead, my goal is to amplify Canuck Place’s impact by engaging with community leaders and philanthropists who are eager to make a significant difference. This initiative resonates with me because it not only supports an admirable cause but also creates a community of shared values and common purpose. Our Connectors are integral parts of a movement that pledges to support each family on every step of their journey.

In this role, I live by the values of Canuck Place – compassion, resilience, and unwavering support. I lead with empathy and am committed to fostering a culture of collaboration and transparency.

The answer to why people should consider joining and supporting Canuck Place Connectors is simple yet powerful. Your support directly enables Canuck Place to continue offering comprehensive, complex, and compassionate care to children and families during their most challenging times. Being a Connector is a testament to the belief that in people’s most difficult times, compassion and support can make a real difference in the road they walk.

For those looking to make a difference in their communities, my advice is to find a cause that truly moves you. For me, that cause is Canuck Place. Giving back does not always have to involve monetary contributions. Volunteering your time, offering emotional support, or even raising awareness can all lead to significant impacts.

To me, Canuck Place is a sanctuary of love and support, where children and families facing unimaginable challenges find solace and strength.

If you feel moved by the mission of Canuck Place and wish to become a part of something truly special, I invite you to join us as a Canuck Place Connector. Together, we can ensure that no family has to face these journeys alone.
