StayWell Partnership Announcement
The David Foster Foundation is delighted to welcome StayWell Suites Charity as the newest Community Partner. In 2018, the principals of Sky View Suites learned of the troubles that patients from out of town had when trying to secure accommodation in Toronto while they attended lifesaving medical appointments. It was in response to this need that StayWell Suites Charity was created. StayWell’s mission is to provide accessible accommodation options to patients and their families while they receive critical medical care.
StayWell launched in 2018 with 135 room nights provided. In 2021, they are on track to provide 14,000 room nights in Toronto alone, working with all major hospitals in the area. StayWell's focus and vision are to provide all Canadians access to affordable accommodations required for critical medical treatment.
StayWell is honoured to be included as a community partner with the David Foster Foundation. It means so much to all the volunteers building StayWell Charity.
—Sass Khazzam, Co-CEO
In 2019, the David Foster Foundation began working with StayWell to provide subsidized accommodation options for transplant families who didn’t live in Toronto but whose children needed care at SickKids Hospital. The work the David Foster Foundation is doing, providing financial support for children requiring organ transplants, is critical to the well-being of the children and families utilizing this accessible accommodation. StayWell is proud to play a role in its success. To learn more about StayWell Suites Charity, visit www.staywellsuites.com.

Ronald McDonald House and hotels. The suites at StayWell provide a new level of comfort for families during this difficult period. • ●To date, StayWell has provided 10 David Foster Foundation families 535 nights.
• ●Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the availability of traditional accommodations was greatly reduced. StayWell was able to fill this gap in accommodation options.
