Donors With a Big Heart

“I can’t wait for my birthday,” says a voice in the ad for
My Birthday as a Gift, a fundraising initiative as well-
known as The Lighthouse itself. “Me, too! I can’t wait
for your birthday!” responds a child, who smiles despite
being ill.
Approximately half of donors since June 2013 learned
about The Lighthouse through the My Birthday as
a Gift campaign. The ads, generously produced by
Zip Communication and aired at no charge by media
partners, have inspired thousands of people to invite
family and friends to give to The Lighthouse rather
than give them a birthday present.
During the last five years, some 50 celebrities have
promoted My Birthday as a Gift. In all, 3127 Lighthouse                            Sébastien Martinez at the summit of Mont-Blanc

“Since my daughter’s death, I’ve shared pictures so
that people will remember her, but … the more I share,
the less my friends speak to me about her,” a dad
sadly notes.

Families of a seriously ill child and bereaved families
are, in many ways, like all other families. In particular,
they are on social media but they share moments
of an atypical daily life that is at times wonderful
and at other times very difficult. Their relatives and
friends are not always able to respond or react, giving
rise sometimes to discomfort or things left unsaid,
sometimes worse.

Quebec media, however, are increasingly dealing with
complex issues surrounding palliative care and the
end of life. A social dialogue is emerging in Québec.
By sharing their story, parents have opened the way to
communication unparalleled in The Lighthouse’s 20-
year history. By accepting The Lighthouse’s invitation
to meet with seasoned journalists, many families
have contributed to breaking the taboo surrounding
pediatric palliative care.

                                                                      In a major report entitled “Des parents confrontés

“I try hard to be in the present moment with her
because, essentially, it’s the unknown,” Maélie’s mom,
Karine Beaurivage, says to the camera. In the same
vein, explaining the complexity of daily life that can
change at any moment, Martine St-Pierre, Guillaume’s
mom, speaks, with moving courage, about the coming
end of her son’s life: “I would like him to die in my arms
at The Lighthouse, not at home when I am all alone
because I don’t know how I’m going to react.”

Along with bravely sharing their concerns, parents
also share their pride and love for their child. On TVA,
Donald Forest, the late Marie-Ange’s dad, declares,
“My daughter was never afraid – never!” In an equally
moving and inspiring tribute, he points out that “she
feared only one thing – that she would be forgotten.”
To honour his daughter’s memory and keep his
promise to her to help other families, this proud father
remains a pillar in The Lighthouse community. When
he and other parents meet, they often acknowledge
one another without even saying a word.

                                                               Also speaking in a TVA interview about how families

It is said that it takes a village to raise a child. At the Lighthouse, we know that it takes a village to accompany
a child to the end and support the family through it all, so that they can remain standing. In the past 20 years,
this village has grown to include great allies who support the community in a thousand and one ways. Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts to all of them for their invaluable support!
