The Cold Water Ranch Lodge is an amazing initiative that will benefit special needs families and individuals with disabilities across BC. But we need your help!
Donate
One mother wrote to us: “Our daughter is 13 and I am so thrilled that maybe we will be able to vacation with her. She is in a group home now and we have never gone on vacation with her. Thank you!” Your donation will help a young girl go on a vacation with her family for the first time. Imagine the difference you can make!
Help us make this difference! Donate to Abilitas to support the Cold Water Ranch Lodge. The Abilitas Foundation is a registered charity (BN845514025RR0001) and will issue a tax receipt for your donation.
Receiptable Online Donations can be made through our account with CanadaHelps.org.
Direct Donations can be made by sending a cheque (payable to ABILITAS FOUNDATION) to 200 - 2296 McCallum Road, Abbotsford BC, V2S 3P4.
