Variety – the Children’s Charity of BC steps in where healthcare ends providing vital support to children with disabilities and complex health needs. variety.bc.ca

In British Columbia, 83,000 kids with disabilities are waiting for vital support — limited not by who they are, but by what they can’t access. Our Unlimit Me campaign shares the experiences and dreams of kids we support and invites our community to rally behind them.
#UnlimitKids
In 2025, we provided over 8,150 grants to families in 280+ communities, providing critical equipment, therapies, mental health supports, assessments and education services when families needed them most. See the difference you’re helping make across BC: https://www.variety.bc.ca/our-impact/

Unlimit Me is a reminder that every child has dreams, but not every child has equal access to the support that helps them grow. It’s also a joyful celebration of what it looks like when these barriers are removed. Share to help us support more BC families.

Unlimit Me is a rallying cry for possibility and belonging — and a future where every child has what they need to thrive.

We're so grateful to Sierra, Isla, Ayashi, Prescott and Isaac who boldly said yes to helping us tell this story.

We believe every child deserves to belong and receive a quality education. That’s why we fund individualized supports like one-on-one tutoring that can fill gaps in the public school system. There’s still more work to do, but our goal is to give families more options.

No matter how a child communicates, it’s so exciting to see kids grow and find new ways to express themselves and connect with others. With funding for regular speech therapy, Everett now has more independence—including riding the school bus by himself.

“Autism is based on a spectrum; each child represents a unique part of the spectrum," Alex’s mom Leyla says. "Don't give up and work with your child’s strengths in adapting to new situations." We're thrilled to help Alex thrive through an autism assessment and equine therapy.
