Fundraising Campaign: June 2025​
Support for Mobility and Autonomy

Together, let’s give more training hours!
Help us transform lives, one session at a time

​The Centre québécois d'entraînement adapté FSWC (FSWC Québec) is launching a fundraising campaign to allow even more individuals living with neurological conditions to access specialized training sessions at reduced costs.
Our mission is simple but essential: to provide adapted, accessible, and human-centered training services to those who need them most — children, adolescents, adults, and seniors living with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, and multiple sclerosis.
However, these vital services can represent a financial burden for many families.

That’s why we’re turning to you.

How does it work?
This campaign is powered by the strength of our community. You can help in several ways:

1. Share the campaign link to help us spread the word to as many people as possible.
2. Make a monetary donation by clicking here. We also accept donations in securities — [click here to donate in this way].
3. Create your own fundraising page on behalf of FSWC Québec by clicking here and mobilize your network to make a difference.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward reducing cost on training hours for our clients. Your donation can make a big difference.

The impact of your donation:
Each $85 raised equals one hour of specialized training. Thanks to your support, we’re able to reduce the cost for our clients and ensure they receive the care and physical activity they need. Every contribution brings someone closer to their goal — whether it’s walking, standing, moving more freely, or simply regaining their independence.
Because every step forward matters. Because every hour of training can change a life.

​Thank you for being part of our team.

Details on the 2025 fundraising campaign

Your donation can change the future! 

​Objective: 134 000$

As a charitable organization, our business model is to offer our programs at 30% of the billiable cost and we are counting on the success of our 2025 fundraising campaign to maintain this rate reduction and expand our services by increasing the team of trainers. Our fundraising committee is already hard at work and every donation counts, no matter how small, to reach our goal. Let's encourage people with neurological conditions to achieve a better quality of life.

​Our organization benefits from the support of many volunteers who are willing to give their time to the cause to cover all administrative tasks.

The funds received will more specifically help us to:​

• support these people to take advantage of our programs by reducing our actual service costs by 70%,

Why should I support FSWC Quebec:

• Thanks to your $85 donation, a person of any age with a neurological condition receives an hour of individualized session provided by our healthcare professionals at a cost of only $40 per hour, which represents only 30% of the billable cost. Your support ensures the sustainability of our essential services, unique in Quebec with our proven method of over 20 years based on neuroplasticity.​​

Importance to have such a program​

Diane et Carl

Ms. Diane Roy and Mr. Carl Marquis

Ms. Diane Roy, sustained a spinal cord injury at 17, and Mr. Carl Marquis, sustained a Spinal Cord Injury at 15:

'' We had an accident when we were still teenagers and have been paraplegic ever since. Like you, before our accidents, we never thought of having such an accident and never imagined losing the use of our legs. But it happened to us.

After our accidents, we managed to regain our strengths and passions in parasports. These sports have helped us resume our energy to keep moving forward in our lives. We both participated in the Paralympic Games and were medalists. Sports have given us incredible experiences.

But all these sporting activities have had no effect to improve the functions lost in our legs.

​
With our experiences in wheelchairs for more than 30 years, we have experienced unpredictable circumstances that we have had to face in our daily lives. We can say that we would have liked to have the the chance to undertake a program such as this one after having been released from the public rehabilitation program. If there had been such a program in our time, we think we would have tried it right away.

All individuals with a spinal cord injury should be aware of this option and should be promptly informed.

It is important to offer this choice for those who want to improve their condition continuously!''

Ms. Hanane Boukache, Volunteer, and mother of a boy with cerebral palsy

Ms. Hanane Boukache

'' I am above all the happy mother of two boys, Nail is my eldest, he is 15 years old,  , suffering from cerebral palsy, he is my greatest gift. My life has taken a different turn but certainly for the best. Long before, I had always been driven by a deep passion to help my fellow man so that  listening, consoling, and engaging in humanitarian causes is not new. In my previous life as a dentist, I was caring for children with malformations.  Overcoming obstacles and never stopping in front of the unusual is my motto. Later on, I started my fight to help my son evolve as I was dealing with   with  many families I met along the way. We ended up visiting various  high-level intensive therapy centers in Algeria, Jordan, The  Emirates, France, Spain, Germany and finally Poland. As I Accompanied other parents and their children, the stays followed one another and the progress was visible. Since then I started to inform the families around me of the importance of early and intensive therapy by creating an association of parents of children living  with cerebral palsy. Today, I continue to carry the torch. Here in Quebec, the FSWC program is based on the same principles as the ones known in Europe, we must do something and make as many people as possible benefit from this therapy which has proven itself, and which I have  personally witnessed. ''

Ms Marcelle Rousseau

'' I have the privilege of being fit and healthy and am able to move as I please. Unfortunately, for some, the reality is quite different. By supporting the Québec Adapted Training Centre FSWC, I allow it to carry out its mission so that people who have lost their mobility can regain independence and freedom of movement. Long live this program, which will greatly improve their quality of life, and long live this second chance giver! ''

Frédéric, donor

Frédéric

'' I wanted to participate in the establishment of the FSWC Quebec Center by making a monetary donation. As a paramedic, I had to intervene with spinal cord injuries. Knowing that rehabilitation is long and full of obstacles, this organization will be able to help this clientele regain their physical abilities. I believe in the regenerative capacities of the body and the mind and thanks to this organization, its therapists and the concept of neuroplasticity, spinal cord injured people will have the chance to regain certain functions and autonomy.
