Searching for support when your child is ill can be a daunting task. Friends of Children provides you with information on accommodation, transportation and other charities to ease the stress when your son or daughter must see doctors away from home. A long stay for medical treatment creates the challenge of finding affordable accommodation close to your child. Travel to  and from your child’s medical appointment also poses questions of the most-cost efficient method to reach the medical destination. Friends of Children is in close contact with BC Children’s Hospital Vancouver, University Hospital of Northern BC in  Prince George, Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary and Stollery Hospital in Edmonton. We often hear from service  coordinators of the various hospitals who pursue support for families of children in medical need.
