Today is #GivingTuesday, and this year we’re hopin Today is #GivingTuesday, and this year we’re hoping 100 generous donors will step up to support kids living with #asthma.  Across Canada, more than 900,000 children are navigating life with this chronic condition.

It helps provide the education, resources, and guidance that keep children safer, healthier, and able to just be kids.  And with matched donations until December 15 plus an automatic entry into our air purifier giveaway, today is the perfect day to give.  Let’s make this a day of generosity that truly changes lives.

 🔹It’s safety for a child struggling for their next breath.
 🔹It’s hope for families praying for tomorrow.
 🔹It’s a chance to build a future where no one fears the simple act of breathing.  Donate now and make a real difference this #GivingTuesday (link in story).  #asthma
