The King family in Chilliwack has 10 children from one to twenty-one years old, with different disabilities and abilities. Some are adopted, some are foster children and some are biological. And four of them were in wheelchairs that didn't fit in the family bathroom.
The family turned to Giving in Action, a Society that was set up by Vancouver Foundation with a gift from the BC Government.
Giving in Action gave them a grant to make the bathroom accessible to all their kids, and to purchase a new wheelchair-friendly vehicle.
Thanks to funding from Giving in Action, the family finds it easier to get around, inside their home, and in their community.
