We recognize that children are the future, and as parents, our utmost priority is to ensure their health and happiness. In Toronto, we are fortunate to have a dedicated team of individuals who devote their lives to caring for children’s well-being. The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) stands as a beacon of excellence in healthcare and research, affiliated with the esteemed University of Toronto.

SickKids Foundation, a registered charity organization, was established in March 1875 by Elizabeth McMaster and a group of compassionate Toronto women. With a humble beginning, they rented an 11-room house, proclaiming it as a place “for the admission and treatment of all sick children.” Their first patient, a young girl named Maggie, marked the beginning of SickKids’ journey as a pioneering institution for child health and research in Canada.

Over time, SickKids relocated to its current location and established the SickKids Research Institute, which amalgamates scientific and clinical research to advance healthcare achievements and pursue innovative treatment approaches. Notably, SickKids was one of the first institutions in North America to dedicate an intensive care unit exclusively to the care of seriously ill newborns and premature babies.

Today, SickKids continues to lead the global community in pediatric research and care. Their unwavering commitment to saving children’s lives, discovering new cures, and providing world-class care remains steadfast. However, significant challenges persist in child health as patients become increasingly medically complex. To address these challenges, SickKids’ doctors, scientists, and researchers harness the power of new technologies, artificial intelligence, and their deepening understanding of the genetic basis of various conditions. Their goal is to deliver what they call “precision health” – personalized and targeted treatments for each child.

Children: The Essence of Life’s Importance

Oleg Chudnovski, a proud father of two and the owner/CEO of Fix Appliances CA, perfectly captures the sentiment shared by many: “Children make our life important.” He echoes the words of P.T. Barnum, who believed that there is no greater beauty than the sight of smiling, bright-eyed, happy children and no sweeter sound than their laughter. Indeed, our primary responsibility is to ensure the happiness and well-being of our children, as their welfare directly impacts our own.

We have the power to support SickKids in their pursuit of providing the best possible care for our children. While our contribution at Fix Appliances CA may be modest compared to the hospital’s immense needs, we firmly believe that leading by example inspires others to follow suit, ultimately benefiting everyone.

SickKids tirelessly fight to ensure that every child becomes a healthy child. Their impact extends far beyond Toronto, Ontario, and Canada, positively influencing the lives of children and adults worldwide.
