As hope grows, our children grow.

It was the year 2000. A then four-year-old Sébastien found himself in the Sainte-Justine trauma care unit with a serious cut to his right wrist. The experience left a lasting impression on him, his family and the adult he would grow into. So much so, in fact, that 21 years later, he decided to make arrangements for a planned gift to the Foundation through a life insurance policy. In so doing, he is paving the way for the next generation of committed young people.
