At just four years old, my son Keaton was diagnosed with stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma. On December 4, 2010, he died in our arms, not at home, but in a hospital room.

Since then, I’ve dreamed of something better for families like mine.
A place where children with serious illness can spend their final days, months or even years surrounded by the people who love them most.

A place where families have time to be together, to hold each other close and to make meaningful memories.

Keaton’s House – Paul Paletta Children’s Hospice is that dream.

Help us honour Keaton’s legacy and build a place of comfort, care and connection for children and families.

July 24 is Self-Care Day. Today, we’re recognizing caregivers who spend so much time supporting others.

When you’re caring for someone else, it can be hard to find time for yourself. But self-care does not always have to be a big commitment. Sometimes, it can be a small pause, a deep breath or a quiet moment to reset.

At Kemp Care Network, we know caregiver well-being matters too. Taking care of yourself, even in small ways, can help you feel more grounded while you continue caring for others.

Caregivers, we appreciate you. Swipe through for a few micro self-care ideas. đź’›
