The Gaby Davis Foundation

Kaleb, Lauren, Nina, Dina, Kaitlin

150 new families have a child diagnosed with cancer in BC each yearFinancial, physical, and emotional stress inevitable

While picking up Gaby's prescriptions at a hospital pharmacy, Gaby & Dad witnessed a parent break down because they didn't have enough money to buy the drugs they needed to bring their child home.

Gaby was quite shaken by the experience and shortly thereafter said this to her Dad...

"Dad, we sure are lucky to have so many friends helping us. You think when my cancer is over, we can help people who don't have as many friends? I wish all the kids with cancer had enough money to do the stuff we get to do."
