Testimonials
« Charlie and Robin are identical twins born at 26 weeks who have to deal with several challenges related to their prematurity, including cerebral palsy. On a daily basis, this means frequent medical and rehabilitation appointments, dozens of stimulation exercises, and obstacles to adaptation and inclusion.
But it's also a lot of love, pride, compassion, and community solidarity. We are sincerely grateful to the Gisèle Faubert Foundation for supporting us in the purchase of two adapted chairs that allow Charlie and Robin greater inclusion and participation in family life. »
« As a single parent, I faced many challenges following my daughter Lyllie's diagnosis of dyslexia, and I want to share with you what a great relief it was to be able to get support from the Gisèle Faubert Foundation.
The impact of Lyllie's condition on her self-esteem and academic success is a major one; in order to provide her with the necessary support, I had to quit my job and ask for help in obtaining the services of professionals to get her out of her distressed state, and equip her to regain her confidence, little by little.
I feel enormous gratitude towards the Foundation, and I want to express my infinite appreciation - I feel like shouting a huge THANK YOU to the whole team!!! »
« As a social worker, I work for the CISSS de la Montérégie-Ouest. In my line of work, I have witnessed the benevolence and generosity of the Gisèle Faubert Foundation with families of children who are ill or living with disabilities. The Foundation supports families, for example, by providing equipment or care that is not covered. Their help reduces the financial burden on families, thereby improving the quality of life of children and their loved ones. »
« Delsa was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome in 2017 and is now 7 years old. She also suffers from other conditions, and her condition as a whole means that she has difficulty sitting up on her own.
As immigrants who arrived in Quebec 12 years ago, we had no idea of the support available to us to meet our daughter's special needs, as such support did not exist in our country of origin.
Thanks to the Foundation, we were able to get a special chair that has greatly improved Delsa’s quality of life, both at school and at home.
We are deeply grateful for your generosity, which makes our daily lives easier and has had a huge positive impact on Delsa’s life!"

Request for assistance
- How to apply
- Useful information
For the past 25 years, the Gisèle Faubert Foundation has been providing financial assistance to families of children affected by various illnesses or disorders.
The well-being of these families is always close to our hearts.
We are temporarily suspending the “Children” initiative while the Gisèle-Faubert Hospice is under construction. This project is entering the active phase of its major fundraising campaign. Construction is set to begin very soon. In light of this, the Foundation will devote all its resources to the construction of the hospice.
We will resume providing support to families of sick children once the facility is up and running, and will address the critical shortage of end-of-life beds in our region.
Useful information about financial assistance
