Abby
Abby, met relapsed neuroblastoma with so much courage. When her little body needed a break from treatment, her family chose to fill December with love and memories, visiting Niagara Falls and Great Wolf Lodge through the TRF Family Fun Grant. Abby passed away on July 27, 2026. We were honoured to support her family with the Path to Heaven Grant and to gather with them in celebrating her beautiful life. Her light will stay with everyone who knew her.
Kendrick
Kendrick, age 9, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at 5 in the Philippines. His family crossed an ocean to give him the best chance at life, and in April 2025 he proudly rang the bell in St. John’s. When his cancer returned, he met it with quiet courage, his parents beside him all the way to SickKids in Toronto. Kendrick passed away on September 12, 2026, just after celebrating his birthday. His bravery and his family’s love will never be forgotten.
Charlie
In March 2025, Charlie was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. His best chance was a new trial medication at London Health Sciences, over 250 km from home. The TRF Travel Grant helped his family with gas, parking, meals and even car repairs so they could travel safely without financial worry. Charlie battled bravely and earned his angel wings in April 2026. TRF’s Path to Heaven Grant helped his family with final arrangements, and TRF will remain by their side.
Sarah
Sarah was a bright light and an inspiration to everyone who knew her. After battling leukemia for 13 years and enduring eight relapses, Sarah passed away in October 2025. TRF helped her family with a Signature Grant, Travel Grant and a Path to Heaven Grant. Her illness kept her family apart for much of the year as they focused on her care. In December 2025, TRF offered a Family Fun Grant, enabling the family to travel to Quebec City, where they reconnected, healed together, and cherished memories of Sarah, their forever hero.
Kaiden
Kaiden gave the best hugs, he was silly and loved to laugh. He cared for others before himself. He was a BIG Star Wars fan and loved adding songs to his music playlist to have dance parties. He loved playing Minecraft with his brother and exploring the world together. Kaiden's smile and laughter
would light up a room. He was an old soul full of love. When Kaiden passed away TRF remained by his family’s side providing funds so his community could come together to
honour him. Kaiden's mom is an active member of TRF, helping other TRF families through grief.
Emma
Emma always smiled...it was that simple to her. She was always happy, she found joy in the smallest things. Her positive outlook and
energy were remarkable. She brought a sparkle to every room she entered, so her loved ones always say “Sparkle like Emma!” When Emma passed away at 5 years old, her family wanted to remember her in a way that honored her positive spirit. With help from a TRF Path to Heaven grant they were able to come together with their community to share her sparkle and positivity one more time.
