Hi Family and Friends,

As you will be aware, I will soon celebrate my 80th birthday! In place of gifts, I would be grateful if you would consider donating to Missing School. This charity is very dear to me. 10 years ago, our Grandson, Darcy received the news that no child or parent should have to hear. Because of his life-threatening illness, Darcy missed several years of School and interaction with this peers / School community. After his recovery, Darcy’s mother (our Daughter) Megan co-founded Missing School a not-for-profit charity. Missing School aims to make connecting seriously sick kids with their classrooms a reality.

While Darcy was in the hospital, I saw how much he and other kids missed being in touch with their friends and learning during long periods of isolation. I was also lucky enough to witness their delight when they had visits from school friends or were able to learn something new.

Your donations will be greatly appreciated and make it possible for a seriously sick kid to connect to school from wherever they are, so they don’t have to miss their friends and learning anymore!

I’ll keep you posted on my progress!

Much love and thanks, Jan.
