The family of Kendyl Smith-Trimm, a young girl who bravely battled cancer, has raised a staggering $66,500 in her memory for the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
On Sunday, her mother Cheryl Smith and father Pat Trimm from Pembroke, Ont. awarded the hospital with a cheque in honour of Kendyl, who they described as "loving" and "caring."
"Kendyl was a gift from God to us," Smith said in an interview.
"She loved to have fun and loved to play tricks with us and she was such an amazing little person. She was very selfless for all the things she had to go through in such a short time. She was just always concerned about other people."
On Aug. 14, 2023, Kendyl tragically died after a courageous and fierce battle with Osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of bone cancer, at the age of 8.
Sunday would have been her tenth birthday.
"Today is a very special day to give this cheque to CHEO in honour of Kendyl. Today is her tenth birthday and she would be very happy and very proud to know that we are presenting this cheque to help the other children today on her birthday," Cheryl said.
