Dear collaborators, | Thanks to the trust and generosity shown by our loyal and numerous partners and donators during the course of the last 35 years, the Marie-Vincent Foundation continues to encourage special initiatives benefiting children!
The Marie-Vincent Foundation has also participated in the Centre d’expertise Marie-Vincent’s inception and has been mainly supporting its activities for the past five years. The Centre is unique in many different ways and distinguishes itself by offering, in one single location, multidisciplinary services for child victims of sexual abuse, aged 12 and younger, and their families. Thanks to its ultramodern and adapted facilities the Centre provides state of the art services and treatments for its clientele and is becoming a leader and reference in its field of expertise, not only here in Québec but more recently at an international level.
Besides supporting the Centre d’expertise Marie-Vincent pursue its mission, funds collected by our Foundation also go towards helping other projects and programs specially designed for child victims of maltreatment. During the past year many organisations throughout Québec have benefited from the Foundation’s financial support, thus allowing them to pursue their mission in helping child victims aged 12 and younger. Board and staff members, partners, donators, volunteers all cherish our special cause, one aimed at helping child victims. Your involvement and dedication contribute dearly to our daily motivation in setting forward services to help young child victims and their loved ones.
It is with the will to overcome this problematic, your commitment and your perseverance that we shall together manage to improve the wellbeing of children everywhere in Québec and abroad.
Thanks for supporting our Foundation and helping better the lives of our children.
