Every week, SMILE meets families who have fled conflict and hardship, arriving in Canada carrying more than just hope. Their children are living with complex medical conditions, developmental disabilities, and trauma that cannot wait for support.
Our team is seeing the need rise sharply. Families who are already struggling with navigating language barriers are now navigating hospitals, therapy waitlists, and systems that feel impossible to access alone. At SMILE, we support when no one else can. From connecting families to specialists and providing essential therapies to offering emotional and community support, we make sure no child is left behind in their most critical moments.
But today, the need is outpacing our capacity. More families are reaching out every day and we can’t turn them away. Your donation ensures that newcomer children with disabilities receive the care, therapy, and advocacy they urgently need. Together, we can make sure every child gets the support they need and deserve.
This is where you come in. Your support ensures newcomer children with disabilities receive the therapy, care, and advocacy they urgently need. Together, we make it possible for families to rebuild and for every kid to be a kid!
