This Christmas Season, the students and staff at St. Thérèse of Lisieux Catholic Elementary School will embark on supporting McMaster Children’s Hospital through the “Mighty Mateo Fund and Toy Drive,” for the 8 th year in a row.
We are collecting new toys, clothes and gift cards for the Child Life Department at McMaster Children's Hospital.
We will be accepting donations to support patients and their families during this upcoming Christmas so they too may experience the peace, love, joy, and hope that comes with Christmas each year, especially during their most trying days. Our generosity will help provide Christmas and birthday gifts, medical goal rewards, and “pick me ups” for struggling patients and their families. Please send in your donation by Friday, December 6th😊
