Give Back with Dear Santa
With every purchase of a Dear Santa Bar, $2 will go directly to children’s hospital foundations across Canada, providing essential support to children who need it. Help bring joy to children in hospitals this holiday season by supporting their care. The Dear Santa Bar was created in 2019 after we learned that the number one fear of kids staying in hospitals over the holidays is that Santa won’t be able to find them. This is what inspired us to create this very special bar, Dear Santa.

Heartwarming Stories from our Dear Santa Kids

Eva
When Eva was diagnosed with cancer at two years old, her parents were in disbelief. With the expertise of her care team and an entire community rallying behind them, they found strength. Now on maintenance chemotherapy, Eva continues to bring joy to everyone around her.


Claire
Claire’s family calls her unstoppable. Claire has cerebral palsy and while she is unable to move on her own or speak, she can use her mind to do things her body cannot thanks to her specialists and innovative, community-funded technology at the Alberta Children’s Hospital called Brain Computer Interface (BCI). She can switch on toys, play games, blend milkshakes, and turn on her mom's mixer to bake cookies, using only her mind!


Arabella
Arabella was born with serious medical challenges, including a cleft lip, heart issues, and a rare condition where her esophagus and trachea were joined, causing her to breathe into her stomach and swallow into her lungs. Despite these challenges, her resilience shines, and she continues to be closely monitored by her Stollery team.


Nixon
Nixon was diagnosed with a rare, non-cancerous brain tumor called craniopharyngioma, which affected his growth and vision. After a complex surgery to drain fluid from the tumor, Nixon faced a challenging recovery but displayed remarkable resilience. Though he now lives with some vision loss, Nixon continues to grow stronger. His family, deeply grateful for the care received, is committed to giving back and supporting other children facing similar challenges.


Rory
At three months old, Rory was diagnosed with West Syndrome, a rare form of Epilepsy, which later evolved into a severe rare form called Lennox Gastaut. On his toughest nights he would experience over 150 seizures during his sleep. After trying 15 different medications, he underwent Vagus Nerve Stimulator surgery. This surgery significantly reduced his seizures, allowing Rory's resilient spirit to shine through and enabling him to engage more deeply with his surroundings!


Sameer
Sameer was diagnosed with cancer in his blood and bone marrow in late 2022. He immediately began intensive treatment, including chemotherapy and multiple surgeries. Despite complications like allergic reactions and infections, Sameer’s strength is impressive as he continues his two-year treatment plan with the support of his family and care from CHEO. Now halfway through his treatment, Sameer is back at school, full of energy, and his family is grateful for the life-saving care he received.


Malcolm
Malcolm was born prematurely on January 1, 2012, with his twin sister, Malania. Due to complications, his mother was sent to the high-risk ward at Mount Sinai Hospital. Doctors discovered that Malcolm had Down syndrome, sickle cell disease, and a heart defect, which began his journey with SickKids. After undergoing heart surgery and overcoming a sickle cell crisis, Malcolm now visits SickKids regularly and thrives, enjoying basketball, travel, and family life with the support of his dedicated care team.
