Thank Yous

Overflowing with Gratitude to Our Holiday Heroes!
As we bid farewell to this joyous season, our hearts are bursting with gratitude for each and every one of you who turned this holiday into something truly magical. Whether it was a donation in lieu of gifts, a contribution in honor of a YANA family, through our Website on Canada Helps, or a ‘just because’ gift, your generosity leaves us speechless!!!
Your support, in all its forms, has touched the lives of those who need it most, creating ripples of joy and warmth that extend far beyond the holiday season. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for choosing to make a difference for YANA families.

We’re absolutely thrilled and so grateful for the amazing support from Edible Islands and all their customers! Thanks for choosing YANA as one of your charities for the 12 Days of Giving this holiday season. Your help means the world to us and really makes a difference in the lives of the families we support. Thanks for sharing the holiday spirit and kindness!

We send our deepest gratitude to the Strategic Giving Foundation and to David M. and June M. for their incredibly generous donation of $7,590 to YANA through their grant process for general programs. Your support is not only greatly appreciated but also impactful, directly benefiting the families in our community! Thank you!

Thank you, Lynn, Nick, and the Comox Strathcona Probus Club, for your thoughtful donation and for choosing to support YANA. This contribution was initially intended as payment to a speaker from the military, Nick, who recently shared insights on PTSD and veterans at their meeting. Instead, Nick chose to redirect this honorarium to YANA. We appreciate your support!

We extend our deepest gratitude to Liz R, Doug S, and John A for their recent donation from the sales of their enchanting Piano People earlier this month. Your creative contribution, crafted from 100% recycled vintage piano parts and adorned with whimsical bows, is truly a masterpiece of generosity.

A massive heartfelt thanks to Jason Welsh for his incredibly generous donation. His story with YANA starts many years ago when Jason dedicated his time to chopping wood for YANA. Despite the years that have passed, YANA has remained close to Jason’s heart. Your unwavering support, both in the early days and now, reflects the true spirit of community and compassion. Thank you Jason!
