My Story

Trillium Health Partners Foundation is dedicated to raising the critical funds needed to address the highest priority needs of Trillium Health Partners, the largest community academic hospital in Ontario.

Last summer I participated in an observership with a doctor at Credit Valley Hospital in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Department and saw first hand the impact the health care providers had on patients. 

My grandfather suffered a stroke on March 20th 2020, at the onset of COVID-19. The following day, visiting hours were cut to none. My grandfather was in the Intensive Care Unit for a week with no visitors and no one to hold his hand. He was then moved to a stroke unit in the hospital and still had not seen any family members for over a week. After his time on the stroke floor, he was transported to Bridgepoint Active Healthcare to begin his rehabilitation journey.

When my grandfather was in the ICU I was able to arrange to send a package to him with a canvas that I had painted of a sunset. This painting meant so much more to him then I could have ever imagined. He went on for days to talk about how many nurses, doctors and other front line workers commented on the picture and how much joy it brought him every single day.

This unforgettable experience inspired me to create Art For The Hearts, a non-profit organization that provides art in many forms to individuals in hospitals, long term care facilities, rehabilitation centres and retirement homes to warm their hearts.

For those who select to pick it up, I will arrange with you a place and time to meet so that you can receive the artwork. We will also be taking precautions sanitizing and cleaning all pieces before they are given and suggest you do the same as well before giving it to the individual in the hospital/facility.
