Childhood shouldn't be paused. With you, Ender's time is now.
Childhood can’t wait. For kids with disabilities and complex medical needs, every day without the right support is a day they can’t get back—first steps, first words, first moments of independence. In BC, up to 70% of children and youth with disabilities are not receiving the critical support they need. Ender is one of those children, but thanks to donors like you, Variety has funded essential equipment throughout Ender's life.
