Bretton, now 16, had his first heart surgery when he was just four years old, and several more in the years that followed.
He and his family have been incredible spokespersons for RMHC Atlantic, and we're truly grateful for all they've done to spread the word about what we do.

Thank you to @theNSLC who are collecting donations for RMHC Atlantic until the end of February! We appreciate your support!
Our awesome volunteer Alexa recently put together this very cool mini kitchen that was donated to our Family Room in the @IWKHealthCentre.
Alexa is often the first face our guests see when they arrive to our Family Room, and we're incredibly grateful for all she does for our families!

Xena was born in June 2019. She and her family live in Antigonish, and were recently guests at the House while Xena was in town for tests for cochlear implants.
We hope to see her and her family again for future visits to the @IWKHealthCentre!

Our Family Room in the @IWKHealthCentre offers a quiet, family-focused retreat for families spending their day at the hospital.
Stop in for a coffee, a cookie, a puzzle, or simply for a quiet place to relax between appointments.
