Christmas came early for a group of Calgary children Sunday.
They were invited to a private shopping spree at a Toys R Us store, in an event sponsored by the company and the Starlight Children's Foundation Canada."Emmie was born with Crouzon Syndrome," said Emmie's mom Leilani. "It affects her cranial facial features. She's had multiple surgeries since she was three months old."
"Many of our children are immunosuppressed and COVID has been a true challenge," said Heather Burnett, Starlight Canada's program manager for Alberta and B.C. "The fear of her getting sick and not knowing with narrow passages, what that could mean for her," said Leilani.The hope for the event was to do what no prescription can – create priceless smiles and memories for seriously ill children and their families.
Six-hundred-and-thirty-eight families across Canada will get the same experience at Toys R Us stores in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.
