David Foster Foundation Info:
The David Foster Foundation assists British Columbia families with children in need of major organ transplants. It is a last resort organization, helping those who have no other means of financial support to cover the non-medical expenses which cover a broad spectrum of needs. Sometimes it is the need to look after mortgage or rent payments for the months the family will be away or to cover the cost of daycare for siblings left behind while parents are with their sick child. Whatever the need, the David Foster Foundation has always been there to help ease the financial burden the family must face.
