770+
FAMILIES OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES ARE SUPPORTED BY SMILE CANADA.
70%
OF SMILE FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING TO MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS.
MANY OF OUR SMILE FAMILIES ARE REFUGEES AND EVACUEES FROM PALESTINE, AFGHANISTAN, SYRIA, & SUDAN.
"BUT DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT SUPPORT CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES?”

The government covers less than 6% of disability expenses for children and youth, and refugee families often do not qualify for this assistance.
YOUR DONATION
IS CRUCIAL.
Our families are put in situations where they must choose between essential therapy sessions such as speech and language to help their child communicate, or postpone necessary equipment purchases such as a walker in order to meet their basic needs such as rent and groceries.
