Amy Volume's "Birthday Wish"

Hi! I’m Amy! Wanna help me celebrate my birthday by helping the kids at CHEO?

A lot of my youth was spent at CHEO. As I age, I like to reflect on things that brought me joy during harder times. I’m turning 33 on April 25th and I’d like to pay it forward.

Sparkly unicorn stickers, making jelly beaded bracelets, playing board games or watching movies… little acts of ‘normalcy’ in the playroom or bedside made the world seem a little bit brighter.

I’m asking the KiSS Family to consider making a donation to CHEO’s Child Life organization (they direct the funds to FUN stuff) by clicking here:
