Stories of Impact
Building a kinder, more accessible, and more supported world is what we work toward, but it’s the people whose lives we touch that we work for.
Here we invite you to get to know the people and families impacted by our partners’ work, and read about the personal stories of triumph and growth made possible by donor support.
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.

Juliette
Juliette is 12 years old. She’s a very playful and sociable child. She was also born with a rare genetic disorder, of which there are only around a hundred cases worldwide. Some of her favourite camp activities are group campfires, singing, dancing and crafts. We’re very happy to be able to offer Juliette this moment of pure pleasure.
Zachary
The MAB-Mackay has been there for Zachary and his family since he was a toddler and his family discovered he was profoundly deaf. Zachary is now eight years old – read how the MAB-Mackay has supported him in his own words.
Eytan
The transition to their care was incredible! We were relieved and encouraged that their focus was on Eytan’s therapies and early intervention rather than on his diagnosis. The MAB-Mackay became a place I could share both my joy and my fears. I felt heard and understood.
Alexandra
Fifteen summers ago, I spent my first amazing stay at Camp Massawippi. I’ve come back every year since, and I can’t wait to return again this summer.
Gabrielle
Constance-Lethbridge’s Vehicle Adaptation Program, which is unique in North America, and is the only centre in Quebec to teach this platform makes the dream of driving a reality for so many living with physical disabilities.
Oliver
Camp Massawippi is a great place for meeting others living with disabilities like me. The facilities and equipment are adapted so that we can join in all routines and activities.
