Hi [NAME]
Imagine being a child facing a serious illness—endless hospital stays, painful treatments, and missing out on the simple joys of childhood. Now imagine the moment that child gets to experience pure happiness—a special gift in the hospital or even a once-in-a-lifetime wish come true. That’s what Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada makes possible, and I’m reaching out to ask for your help.
I’m raising funds to support these families because every dollar truly makes a difference. Starlight Canada brings joy, comfort, and support to seriously ill children and their families through programs that create moments of happiness when they’re needed most.
Would you consider making a donation? I hope you will join me in bringing joy to a sick child by donating today.
If you’re unable to donate, please consider helping me spread the word—share this email, tell a friend, or post about it on social media.
Thank you for being part of something special. Together, we can bring more smiles and hope to seriously ill children across Canada.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
