Our mission is to raise money for the Angelman Respite Center. The Angelman Foundation works hand in hand with the Quebec Angelman Society to accompany families, help and support in the diagnosis of their child and guide them to the best resources. The Angelman Society educates the public and the medical community and wants to be the unifying bond of Angelman families in Quebec.

The Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis Foundation exists for all patients and caregivers, at all stages of illness and recovery. Together we will continue the battle, we will encourage those in the trenches, and we will fight for the memory of those no longer with us.

We exist in response to the demand for a whole-person integrated approach to wellness that focuses on improving the health and well-being of people living with cancer by addressing their emotional, physical and spiritual needs.
