Steady support builds things that last.
A monthly gift to the Habilitas Foundation Monthly Giving Program keeps them going.
Right now, someone who is blind is learning to cross her street safely. A child who was told she might never walk is taking a step. Someone is learning to drive again, with hands alone. An adult who spent months alone after a stroke is being welcomed by name. And a kid who has never slept away from home is boarding the bus to camp.
None of this happens in a single session. It takes months, sometimes years, of steady support. As the official foundation of MAB-Mackay, Constance-Lethbridge, the Action Centre, and Camp Massawippi, the Habilitas Foundation funds the programs that make this possible — and monthly donors are what keep that funding steady.
Why give monthly?
Progress at MAB-Mackay, Constance-Lethbridge, the Action Centre, and Camp Massawippi is measured in seasons, not sessions. Learning to navigate a city without sight, taking a first step at four, mastering an adapted vehicle, coming back to camp for an eighteenth summer — these take time, and they take funding that doesn’t stop and start.
A monthly gift is the simplest way to provide it. You decide once, and your support continues automatically — becoming dependable funding that programs can plan around. You can change or pause your gift at any time.

Emma
Emma is five years old, a bubbly little girl with a smile that can light up any room. She adores Disney princesses, music, desserts, colouring, and her beloved cat, Skyla. But as charming and bright as she is, Emma’s journey has been filled with challenges most of us could never imagine.
Where your gift goes
Your monthly gift funds the work you’ve just been reading about — orientation and mobility training, physiotherapy and speech therapy, adaptive driving, day programs, summers at Camp Massawippi. As the official foundation of MAB-Mackay, Constance-Lethbridge, the Action Centre, and Camp Massawippi, Habilitas raises the funds; the four organizations turn them into care, every day.
What to expect as a monthly donor
When you join, you’ll receive a welcome message — and from then on, regular updates showing what your support is building: real stories from the four organizations, like the ones on this page. One consolidated tax receipt arrives each February. And your gift stays entirely in your hands — change it, pause it, or cancel it whenever you need to.
