| Footsteps for Family has been something our family has looked forward to since 2018. Excited to be fundraising for our 5th year as Team Dinomite, we are so excited to fundraise for RMHCSCO! Some of our most successful events have included bake sales, selling movie night baskets, and bottle drives. This year our Team will be doing some of our favourites, and have some new and exciting plans to start some new fundraisers – perhaps a community bbq, lemonade stand, or car wash! We are so excited to invite our friends and family to join us throughout our fundraising – and excited to engage with our community again, too!

Ronald McDonald House quickly became our home-away-from-home when our new baby was sick and needed to stay in the hospital for 180 days. Staying at the House kept us close to both our new baby and our toddler Zak, and truly helped us stay together as a family. Zak was provided a safe space to play, to grow and to be a kid, all while his sister was getting strong enough to go home. We are so excited to fundraise for Footsteps for Families for the second year, and give back to the place that supported us during the most stressful time of our lives. We are excited to engage our children in our fundraising activities – we plan on having a lemonade stand, selling goodie bags of treats and selling some of the kids artwork. It’ll be a great opportunity to meet our neighbours!Team Selena's Warriors |

| We are thrilled to be joining Footsteps for Families 2022! We stayed at RMHCSCO in 2016 as our son, Wesley, was being cared for at McMaster Children’s Hospital’s NICU. RMHCSCO provided us with a place to rest, home-cooked meals, endless support and time to focus on each other when our world had turned completely upside down. We are fundraising to support all of the families whose children are being cared for and treated at local hospitals. We look forward to connecting with our supporters this year – we have had success doing bottle drives, by sending out notes to our friends and families – it has a great fundraising return, and a chance to connect and say thank you for supporting us. Win! Win! We use our social media platforms to fundraise by sharing the donate link, talking about our journey and sending thank you notes to all of the people who donate to our Team.Team Wesley |
'Team Lucy' is thrilled to be in our second year of fundraising for Footsteps for Families. Our Lucy spent three months in the McMaster Children’s Hospital NICU, and during that time our family spent several weeks at RMHCSCO next door. After she was discharged, we knew we wanted to give back to the organization in any way that we could moving forward. The unwavering generosity of the organization, in addition to the care and compassion of the people who work and volunteer for RMHC, is both genuine and unparalleled. We know firsthand that every dollar does go towards helping families who cannot be with their little ones, and we are forever grateful to RMHCSCO for the hard work and dedication that they put towards helping to keep families close!
