Safehaven Kids Series: Parker

Peppa Pig is a favourite for Parker, and any episode is a little more fun when his sister is watching alongside him.

In our 2025/2026 Annual Report, Parker’s family shares more about his journey and the role Safehaven has played along the way.

Safehaven is building something that has never existed before in Canada.

Through Brick by Brick, we’re raising funds for Canada’s first integrated housing and medical complexity hub at Bloor and Dufferin.

The new hub will bring specialized care, housing, recreation and community programs together in one place, creating more opportunities for children with medical complexities to receive the support they need.

Brick by brick, every donation brings us closer to building a place where hope lives.

Today, Safehaven recognizes World Duchenne Day, raising awareness of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and the individuals and families impacted by it. Together, we can help build greater awareness and understanding while supporting a more inclusive future for individuals living with Duchenne!
