Applying to Become a Starlight Family
To register as a family with Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada, your child must biologically be under the age of 18 and be diagnosed with a serious illness or permanent disability by a Canadian Medical Practitioner.
While we recognize the difficulties a family may face, the following diagnoses are not eligible for our programs if they are your child’s only diagnosis: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Language Delays, Learning Disabilities and Psychiatric Disorders. Please DO NOT submit an application if your child has one of these as their sole diagnosis. If your child has additional underlying medical conditions that severely impact their quality of life, we encourage you to apply. Thank you for your understanding.
Step 1:
Have your child’s medical professional fill out the form below, scan it and upload it when you fill out the Family Application Form.
