All have the opportunity to take part in aspects of our church life including: membership, leadership, stewardship and celebration of life passages.

YANA was founded in 1986 by Sandra Williams after her family experienced the financial and emotional devastation of having a very sick child who required long-term treatment in Vancouver. YANA continues to ensure that families in the Comox Valley are not alone when dealing with medical issues for their children and believes that when a child is ill the whole family requires care. YANA provides financial support so families can stay focused on the health and wellness of their child. YANA maintains four fully furnished apartments within walking distance of Children’s Hospital and also assists with finding and funding accommodation in alternate treatment destinations. In addition to providing accommodation, YANA provides funding to help with costs of travel, food, parking and unexpected expenses. YANA also provides St. Joseph’s Hospital with funds to make available to Comox Valley families who have a child or an expecting mother who requires emergency transfer to another hospital.

The Children's Ability Fund was established in 1947 and continues today to serve the disabled community of Edmonton and northern Alberta. Our main goal is providing technologically advanced equipment that will provide more indpendence for people with disabilites - to assist them in their daily tasks.

In addition to individual equipment requests, we offer several special programs to address others needs in the community. Our Barrier Free Playground Project offers funding for accessible playgrounds and our Sledges in School Projects provides equipment for a "sledge hockey" and skating program. The Lonestar program offers a grant to therapeutic riding groups for children with disabilites and the New Leash on Life offers a grant to organizations providing service dogs to inidivudals with disabilites.

Patients with chronic or life-altering diseases (such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis) must fight both their illness and the financial burden it places on their family as they struggle to pay for their medications. It is estimated that over 35% of these patients have insurance but still cannot afford the co-payments for the specialty therapeutics they need to treat or control their disease, which can range from $300 to over $3000 per month for a single dose. These underinsured patients are not eligible for most free drug or patient assistance programs, leaving them with few alternatives. They may be forced to do without their medications or go into debt to obtain them, greatly affecting their health and quality of life. Our mission is to improve the health and quality of life of underinsured patients with chronic disease, cancer, or other life-altering conditions who cannot afford the medications they so desperately need.
