Thanks to the generosity of customers at Ardène stores in Carrefour Richelieu, Mail Champlain, and Galeries St-Hyacinthe, and to the commitment of the Starlight Children’s Foundation, young patients at Charles-Le Moyne Hospital will be able to experience precious moments of joy and comfort. ✨
The donations collected this year will enable us to provide our pediatric ward with one “Sensory Play” program and two “Books for Courage” programs.
🧸 The Starlight Sensory Play program offers sensory and motor skills play tools that help children better manage their emotions, reduce stress, and stimulate their senses. Used by healthcare teams and families, these games also promote movement, development, and distraction during treatment, helping to make the hospital experience calmer and more comforting.
📚 The “Books for Courage” programs will also offer children wonderful opportunities to escape into their imaginations and rediscover the joy of reading.
Because beyond medical treatments, caring for a child also means allowing them to play, dream, and smile, even in the hospital.
A huge thank you to the Starlight Children’s Foundation, the teams at Ardène stores, and all the customers who, through their generosity, help make everyday life a little brighter for young hospital patients!
