“We are profoundly grateful for the generosity of the Cas and Marie Broda Family Foundation & Gord and Barb Broda Family. Their remarkable gift of $500,000 will help provide life-changing support for kids with complex medical needs and their families. Saskatoon families will have an inclusive environment for all kids to participate fully in activities with their peers, ensuring they have every opportunity to play, communicate, and enjoy their childhood safely.” said Jacqueline Tisher, CEO and Founder of Hope’s Home.

“The support of children and families, along with building better and stronger communities, has been a philanthropic initiative that we as the Broda Family have always been drawn to.” said the Broda Family

“Hopes Home is an innovative facility where children with complex medical needs and their families find child care, support, love and friendship: which is all built around the concept of community and inclusiveness. As a proud Saskatchewan based family, we are excited to support Hopes Home as they strive to make Saskatchewan the best place to raise a family. We encourage everyone to get involved as every dollar makes a difference.”

The Broda family’s generous gift will fund two inclusive classrooms at the new Saskatoon Child Care Centre, where all kids can learn and play together. Each classroom will have areas for arts and crafts, storytime, nap areas and open play areas designed to improve a child’s developmental skills. The classrooms will also feature adaptive equipment and materials such as ceiling tracks, allowing children’s therapies to happen in the classroom through integrated activities and ensuring an inclusive environment.
