YANA Comox Valley

YANA (You Are Not Alone) is a Comox Valley charity offering help to local families who need to travel to access medical treatment for their children.

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 treatment at Children’s Hospital for many months 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 req

uires care. YANA provides financial support so families can stay focused on the health and wellness of their child.

GiGi: 100 years of love, kindness, and community 💚🧡💛🩵

For her 100th birthday, Elinore Squires (“GiGi” to so many who know and love her ♥️) chose to celebrate in a way that reflects the life she’s lived: by bringing people together. In lieu of gifts, friends and family were invited to donate. The result was nothing short of extraordinary…an incredible $10,000 donation for YANA families!

Because of GiGi, when Comox Valley families are facing their hardest days, they’ll feel the strength of a community surrounding them, lifting them up, supporting them, and reminding them they are never alone.

This is more than a birthday.
This is a legacy of love in action.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who celebrated with GiGi in such a meaningful and generous way. And to GiGi, all of us at YANA wish you the happiest 100th birthday!!!
