An $86,000 donation to our Children’s Help and Medication Programs.
On October 7th, 2015, the Marcelle & Jean Coutu Foundation again affirmed its support for Sun Youth with an $86,000 donation to the Children’s Help Program and the Medication Program.
Over the last 18 years, the Marcelle & Jean Coutu Foundation has donated over $1.2 million to support SunIMG_9752.jpg Youth’s community services, strengthening & supporting a platform that has allowed Sun Youth to help sick people. The Children’s Help Program is a program designed to help families meet their financial needs during a period where a child is very ill. A child’s illness often results in increased stress on his/her parents, who may be forced to depart their professions temporarily or to relocate to Montreal to tend to the illness and recovery of their child, resulting in a reduced income. Families are referred by the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Ste-Justine and the Montreal Children’s Hospital.
