Fionna

Fionna Supported

SickKids Foundation

Why I chose to support SickKids Foundation

After Fionna's 2nd birthday, while out shopping, she had a seizure. It was a terrifying experience and she was rushed to Sick Kids. We stayed there day and night for a few days making sure she was safe to head home. The staff and treatment at Sick Kids was exceptional. She had toys to play, videos to watch and was very well fed. We were stuck in her room due to the nature of her illness but it was a large room and I was able to stay there quite comfortably. It was determined that Fionna had febrile seizures, but we remember her experience at Sick Kids and I know that some kids, and parents, are there for much longer and it's important that we help them out too.

Fionna's Gifts

Fionna chose Magformers, a Boogie Board (the ones you write on not ride on - think hi-tech etch-a-sketch) and she is thrilled to build and draw.

Why I chose my gifts

Fionna loves to draw and write. She would make pictures on her old etch-a-sketch so we had an updated version for her. She loves to build and builds large towers with her Magformers.
