Latest Impact Report for Health
You'll see exactly what Supporters in Lakeshore accomplish.
The first report lands in March 2027 — see what your contribution made possible.
From a newborn's first checkup to comfort care at the end of life, what people need changes — but the need for compassionate support never does. Your contribution funds home nursing, hospice care, mental health counselling, and patient support across Lakeshore, helping people move through illness, recovery, and everyday care with dignity.
Where your money goes
Your contribution is pooled with your neighbours' and distributed across four focus areas.
Compassionate Care
60%
13 local programs
Some of life’s most demanding passages — raising a child with complex needs, supporting a family member through serious illness, approaching the end of life — require more than the healthcare system alone can give. Your support funds respite services that give caregivers rest, hospice beds where people can die with dignity, and family programs that hold everyone together through the hardest seasons. This is care in its fullest human sense.
Mental Health & Counselling
28%
4 local programs
One in five Canadians will experience a mental health challenge this year. In Windsor-Essex, your support funds the counsellors, community mental health workers, peer support programs, and youth mental health services that mean people don’t face those challenges alone. Accessible, high-quality mental health care changes the trajectory of lives — and your contribution makes it available to those who need it most.
Medical Care & Patient Support
12%
3 local programs
Getting the right care shouldn't depend on what you can afford or navigate alone. Your contribution funds patient comfort programs, home nursing visits, transportation to treatment, and equipment loans — closing the gap between what the healthcare system provides and what people actually need, at every stage of illness and recovery.

A few things people ask
Does my money actually stay in Lakeshore?
Almost all of it. Around 90% of your contribution reaches vetted charities in Lakeshore — the rest covers the cost of running Givium securely (6.9%) and payment processing (3–4%). Your net contribution never leaves the community you selected. Get Lakeshore updates.
Can I support more than one cause?
Choosing between causes can be hard — so you don't have to. You can add a second cause when you set up your Contribution Plan. You can change or cancel your contribution at any time.
