A big shout out to the staff at Waypoint Insurance, Crown Isle who generously donated funds raised from their Jeans Day to YANA. Thank you so much!!

We’re so grateful to the Children’s Health Foundation Vancouver Island for their generous funding of our Denman Hornby Connector Program for Expecting Mothers and our YANA Connects Parent and Caregiver Support Program. These programs allow YANA to help Denman/Hornby families safely welcome their new wee ones into the world, and to provide a safe space where all YANA family caregivers can lean on each other for peer support and camaraderie. We are very excited to be able to offer these valuable programs again this year thanks to the ongoing support of CHFVI.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding, and for your help in the coordinated effort stay safe as we start to cautiously reopen services in our community. 💗

There aren’t the words to describe the depths of our gratitude to the Comox Valley Community Foundation and their philanthropic donors. They’ve bestowed us with a grant to help replace the carpets in our YANA apartments with new laminate flooring, which will be highly impactful to the families who need the most hygienic environment possible. Thank you!!

YANA feels really honoured that some of our biggest supporters are kids and schools. We’d love to say a HUGE thank you to Ecole Robb Road and all the awesome students for the donation from their very creative VIP Seating fundraiser. We think you’re all VIP!

Sending love to United Way and all those anonymous donors in our community who decide to give to YANA. We appreciate you and what your generous financial gifts enable us to do to help Comox Valley families who need to travel for the medical treatment of a child or pregnant mother.

Thank you so much to the Benefaction Foundation for the incredibly generous donation to YANA from the Ngan Page Fund. We are honoured and feel so much gratitude when donors entrust us with grants that will enable us to serve local Comox Valley families.

“Weed” love to recognize Jon, Olivia and Lauren of Weed Man Lawn Care (R.L. Turf Operation) for their recent donation. For each client who left a testimonial, they donated $25 to YANA! Comox Valley families who need to travel for medical treatment of a child or pregnant mother THANK YOU!

The Kingfisher Oceanside Resort lit up their gardens and our spirits, when they created a magical winter garden. Tours through the winter wonderland were by donation to YANA and we’re incredibly grateful to be the recipient of their charitableness. Thank you Kingfisher Oceanside Resort!

We were thrilled to be the beneficiary of Shoppers Drug Mart’s campaign for women’s health. Thank you with all our hearts, for assisting us in helping Comox Valley families and pregnant mothers who need to travel for their medical treatment.
