Help us help the kids!

The last thing a parent should have to worry about when their child is in the hospital is the condition of the equipment being used to treat them.

Your donations will provide The Montreal Children's Hospital with the best technology and quality equipment possible and ensure the highest standard of care for the kids now and in the future.

History

What we've accomplished...


The "Just for Kids" Foundation (JFK) was founded in 1987 by a small group of concerned parents who saw the need to raise funds to purchase urgently-needed medical equipment for The Montreal Children's Hospital (MCH). Since then, our organization has grown into a community of dedicated volunteers who continuously look for new and innovative ways to raise funds for this very important cause.

Below is a list of some of the major pieces of equipment JFK has purchased since 2001 for some of the departments in greatest need at the MCH:
