About the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery and CHEO

Your Support is Worth So Much

Baby Sarika's parents found out she had a "broken heart" when she was still in the womb. Her arrival had to be carefully planned and she had an operation to fix her heart when she was just four and a half days old. That same night Sarika's blood pressure plummeted and she went into cardiac arrest! The doctor on call did compressions on her tiny chest and Dr. Maharajh re-opened the incision to monitor her heart for swelling. To her parent's awe, just six and a half weeks later, Sarika left her CHEO family to return home. Her parents commend the CHEO staff for their excellent care and support and feel they can't possibly say thank you enough for saving their baby's life. Your Dream of a Lifetime ticket purchase helps CHEO treat thousands of children, like Sarika, who rely on CHEO and helps the Foundation fulfil its mission which is: "To further the physical, mental and social well-being of children and their families in eastern Ontario and western Quebec by raising, managing, and disbursing funds."

Thank you and good luck!
