Meet Our Team
These wonderful humans make it all happen.
Deanna Hagen
Founder/Director
I have dedicated my life to serving my community, showing kindness and compassion to people in need. In 2015 I recognized a technology barrier that families and children faced while they were receiving life saving treatment in the hospital, therefore, it was a natural fit to begin iKare4Kids. Seeing the joy that iKare4Kids brings these children is so rewarding!
Audrey McAmmond
Fundraiser Coordinator
Volunteering is my heart and soul! I believe that a child should have every opportunity to be happy and carefree, the same way they came into this world. Therefore, if by donating an iPad or tablet, I have eased a little bit of their thinking about their pain, meds and the tubes they’re dealing with I have helped in a small way.
Lynne Howat
Donation and Fundraiser Coordinator
iKare4kids is a program that is do much needed here in Canada. Being able to help children at a difficult time in their lives is especially important to me.
Shaughan Whalen
Volunteer and Partnership Coordinator
My role with iKare4Kids is Partnership/Collaboration Coordinator and Volunteer Coordinator (along with fellow team members). I joined iKare4Kids for several reasons: the program is unique and serves a need that wasn’t recognized prior to Deanna, helping families during probably the most difficult time is beyond rewarding and working with a group of passionate people is both an opportunity to learn and to give back.
Kathy Bristowe

Karen McCullough

Tracy Tupper
Secretary, Volunteer and Charity Coordinator
I chose to volunteer with IKare4Kids as it is such a worthy cause that personally touches my heart, as my son was one of the first recipients of an iPad from IKare4Kids in 2016. Not only is iKare4Kids a rewarding organization to be a part of, I am very very proud of its humble beginnings. I see the happy smiles that the loving caring IKare4Kids help to give to the parents and children when they are in desperate need. I am very excited to see the organization grow and to be associated and working along side such a group of humble volunteers.
Leigh Tetzlaff
Secretary and Charity Coordinator
I volunteer as a way to pay it forward, as so many organizations helped my family in our time of need. The simple donation of an ipad/tablet provides families with so much joy and connection to the outside world. Just seeing the smiles on their face warms my heart.
