iKare4Kids strives to eliminate technology poverty for children and their families on their difficult medical journey, while promoting a greener environment.

A Canadian Charity bringing some joy and comfort to marginalized children who are seriously ill/injured and/or disabled receiving life-saving medical treatment in the Edmonton area, by donating new/used iPads & tablets. WHAT WE DO:
The non-profit “iKare4Kids Society” has a mission to empower families, in financial need, with critically ill, injured and/or disabled children, by repurposing new/gent

ly used technology. HOW IT STARTED:
The Founder of “iKare4Kids Society” is a current serving Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Police Officer, Deanna Hagen. In 2015 while she was volunteering for Ronald McDonald House, she was surprised to learn that many families, with a child in the hospital receiving lifesaving treatment, were facing technology poverty. This sparked the idea to collect new/used iPads and tablets from the community, keeping them out of the landfill, and donating them to support seriously ill/injured/disabled child. iKare4Kids humbly started with 1 person but has now grown to the current Board of Directors, consisting of 8 people that are all volunteers! Since that spark ignited in 2015, iKare4Kids has delivered many iPads and tablets, to seriously ill/injured/disabled children receiving treatment, most frequently at the Stollery Children’s Hospital. WHY WE DO IT:
The value and positive support that these electronic devices bring to the families and the children while on their medical journey are endless, such as, the following to just name a few:

• Storing medical information & treatment plans
• Allowing parents/guardians to research and submit applications for financial aid
• Access to research and support with their child’s diagnosis and ongoing medical needs
• Communication tool for the child and practice ongoing motor skills and rehabilitation
• Connecting family and friends afar with video capabilities
• Allow children to continue their education with online schooling
• Access to music, games, movies, online books to bring some comfort and joy to the lives of these seriously ill/injured children to alleviate some boredom and depression while in the hospital
• Provides distractions during medical procedures
• Ongoing communication with the team of medical professionals and arrange follow up medical appointments for years to come. HOW YOU CAN HELP:
If our program resonates with you, there are several ways to help support iKare4Kids which provides flexibility for each individual situation, which are as follows:

~RECYCLE your old iPad/tablet......the environment will also thank you! Gently used iPads and/or Tablets (chargers, cases, accessories), or

Hospitals aren’t home... but a tablet can bring a little bit of it to a child in pain ❤️

When families are facing the unimaginable, your kindness helps create small moments of joy.

A donated tablet lets a seriously ill child watch their favorite shows, connect with loved ones, and escape-if only for a little while.

•It’s not just tech. It’s comfort. It’s connection. It’s hope.

Help us help more families.

• Donate a tablet or give what you can:

There’s something so empowering about giving back 💙

As a travel advisor and business owner, I help people explore the world—but volunteering with iKare4Kids reminds me how important it is to make an impact right at home.

This charity is truly changing lives—giving kids access to technology, education, and opportunities they might not otherwise have.

Being a small part of that?

Everything ✨

One small donation.
One HUGE impact 🧡

At iKare4Kids, we see it every single day — a child receiving a tablet doesn’t just get a device… they get access to learning, connection, confidence, and opportunity.

That slightly used tablet sitting in your drawer?

To one of our kids, it can mean catching up in school, staying connected during difficult times, and finally feeling like they belong.

Your “old tech” becomes their new future.

Ready to make a difference?

Donate. Share. Change a life.

Your old tablet can become an ill child’s connection to the world ✨

At iKare4Kids, we take gently used & refurbished tablets and place them into the hands of children who need them most—opening doors to learning, connection, and opportunity.

Sweet little Lori-Lynn has been at the Stollery Children’s Hospital since she was born 4 months ago and will be there for a while longer.

iKare4Kids donated a gently used device so that her parents can play soothing music 🎶 to her to bring her some comfort.

Small tech. Big impact. Because every child deserves access to a brighter tomorrow 🩷
