"Little miracles happen all around us – when you have a homemade dinner waiting for you after a long day or are handed an umbrella during a rainstorm after forgetting yours at home. These little miracles make a big difference, especially to families on a winding journey with a seriously ill child. #CIBCMiracleDay helps RMHC families rise above the everyday challenges of having a child in hospital far from home by providing the support needed to keep our Houses and Family Room running, bedrooms cozy, and in-house activities available for caregivers and children who need to recollect in a space that feels just like home. RMHC-SWO is thankful for the CIBC team and their generosity that helps families from across Ontario, all the way to Thunder Bay, focus on what matters most – their seriously ill children."

Now more than ever, we know family is medicine. Knowing the importance of having a family together during their child’s medical treatment, especially when it is far from home, has driven Jeffrey to support RMHC Southwestern Ontario for over a decade. 

From organizing volunteer dinner groups to prepare healthy, home cooked meals for families, to sponsoring capital projects that allowed us to grow, this support has been integral to keeping families close. Jeffrey has also helped provide the “little things” caregivers need, such as umbrellas for family-use on rainy days and touch less door openers to help keep families safe during the pandemic.

When CIBC agreed to donate $750,000 over 3 years to help fight childhood cancer, Jeffrey’s efforts were able to secure $60,000 for RMH London to help keep families close when it matters most. 

We are forever grateful for Jeffrey and his team, their passion for community and their belief in the power of family.
