I always knew that the TLC Foundation was important to the lives of these many deserving kids but today confirmed just how much we mean to these amazing kids. What transpired today hit me like a ton of bricks, it was very beautiful and moving to say the least. I went to the hospital this morning to see my friend Layla who was just admitted because her cancer has returned, it was devastating news to all that love her. When I entered the room Layla was sleeping so I told her dad that I would come back when she was awake. He informed me that Layla was asking about me and he didn’t want me to leave without seeing her so he decided to wake her up. When Layla awoke and saw me she put out her arms wanting to give me a hug. I can’t begin to tell you how I felt at that moment, she was so happy to see me, it was like all the pain and suffering went away for a few minutes as we hugged each other. There is a special place in my heart for my friend Layla, there is nothing I won’t do to help her get through this next battle. For all those individuals who always remind me not to get close to the children, you have never met Layla because if you did you couldn’t help yourself but feel for this wonderful...

Today I was excited about seeing my friend Layla ring the ceremony bell that signifies the end of chemo treatments but last night it was discovered that the cancer has returned and Layla had to be rushed by ambulance to the children’s hospital from Windsor. I can’t begin to explain how terrible I feel for Layla and her family, this is so unfair, Layla doesn’t deserve this! Please send prayers and good thoughts to Layla and her family, they need all the support we can give them right now. I will be by Layla’s side as she battles this terrible disease, I will do all I can to help her get through this, it’s the least I can do for such an amazing...

Thank you to all of the individuals that reach out to me when they know of a child that could use some TLC. A very caring individual reached out to me and because of their big heart ❤️ I got the opportunity to meet Carson. I feel terrible when some kids get left out but unfortunately politics plays a role in some kids getting missed!!! Carson loves the Wiggles so the TLC Foundation decided to gift him some Wiggle toys and front row tickets to their upcoming concert. To see Carson with a smile on his face after everything he has been through warms my heart. I will visit Carson many times and put more smiles on his...

I think if you and I had to spent as much time in the hospital as Hayden’s had to we would not be happy individuals, we would be miserable. To help Hayden get through this hospital stay the TLC Foundation brought her lots of her favourite toys to keep her...

It’s a beautiful, sunny and warm Saturday afternoon but some kids they can’t enjoy this great weather as they can’t leave their hospital beds. To lift their spirits the TLC Foundation dropped by the hospital with some things that would for sure put some smiles on their faces. Front row Wiggle tickets, a kids very own iPad, a 32 inch TV for watching moves and playing games on were some of the gifts that were delivered today to some very deserving kids. The nurses got a little treat as well, some pizza for lunch. It’s important to think of others from time to time especially on beautiful days like...
