Nirvana Garib, a child from Trinidad, was diagnosed with a brain tumour at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Her family, saddened and desperate for hope, prayed for a miracle. They would need $90,000 to pay for Nirvana’s brain surgery. The Caribbean community came together and raised the funds. Nirvana’s brother, Avinash, said “it was indeed a miraculous recovery and we thank God and the TCCF every day.” Since then, countless poor but deserving children from Guyana and the Caribbean receive lifesaving surgeries they could not otherwise afford.

Without any doubt, The Caribbean Children’s Foundation is one of the best charities to support. Absolutely no one is paid, everyone is a volunteer and every single dollar donated goes directly towards saving a child’s life.
