100Brokers members voted and we’re very pleased to announce that we will be sending a cheque in the amount of $10,000 to Eddie Sandoval and his family.

Kelly Sandoval sacrificed her life selflessly to ensure the safety of her child.  She heroically threw herself in harm’s way and prevented their youngest son from being struck by a rampaging pickup truck.

Nomination Story: 
You may have read the headlines about my good friend Eddie Sandoval’s beloved wife Kelly. She heroically threw herself in harm’s way. She prevented their youngest son from being struck by a rampaging pickup.

“A mother of four boys has died after she was hit by a truck during a rampage in Maple Ridge on February 1st, 2018” . . . . . “The incident unfolded when police received a call about a black Dodge pickup truck near the McDonald’s at about 3pm.”

Sadly, Kelly died of complications from the accident. Their boys (ages 5, 10, 13 and 16) and Eddie miss her very much. Kelly was Eddie’s best friend, the love of his life and his business partner. He couldn’t have found a more loving and caring mother for their boys.

Eddie faces some daunting tasks ahead. He’s juggling to keep the boys engaged in their activities, while trying to manage his business alone. The two months that Kelly was fighting to regain her health, produced medical expenses and caused Eddie’s absence from their business. Eddie spends less time on the business and has to hire out for office administration. He also now has childcare costs for his younger boys.

The school-aged boys are dedicated honour students and great athletes! With your generous help, Eddie is determined to keep the boys focused on the path that Kelly and he proudly set them on.

As an independent man, it has taken much for Eddie to ask for help. However, the family truly need your compassionate support with financial assistance. Let’s pool together to aid this family in need and allow them to thrive.

This is a very difficult time for Eddie and his boys. He is incredibly grateful for the love and support of family, friends and the kind acts from strangers.

Thank you to Lana Russell for bringing this Cause to our attention and thanks to everyone who nominated a Cause this Quarter, we had so many great options to choose from.

Your credit score is one of the most important numbers in your financial life — especially when it comes to getting a mortgage. But for most Canadians, how that number actually gets calculated remains a bit of a mystery.

Brokers Who Care voted and we are pleased to announce that we will be sending a cheque in the amount of $10,000 to Let's Cure Lucas - Fighting an Ultra-Rare Genetic Disease our Recipient of the 1st Quarter 2026 vote. Thank you Rocco Mongelli for bringing this Cause to our attention. Lucas Azevedo is a four-year-old with an ultra-rare gene variant affecting the RBM28 gene—a condition so rare that only one other child in the world has been discovered with it. This disease is currently unnamed and has no cure, but his smile and spirit inspire everyone around him.  Lucas lives with significant physical challenges. His ultra-rare gene variant affects all four of his limbs, his balance and coordination, his speech, his oral strength, and much more. His muscles are both tight and fragile, making even the simplest movements a challenge against gravity itself. Nothing happens automatically for him—every movement requires intention, strength, and support. The RBM28 variant affects his cerebellum, the area of the brain vital for coordinating voluntary movements, balance, posture, and motor learning. While there is currently no cure, gene therapy has been developed and has proven successful in stopping progression for many ultra-rare diseases. Lucas's family is hopeful about ongoing research and potential breakthroughs. In the meantime, Lucas works incredibly hard six days a week undergoing physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, swallowing therapy, and hydrotherapy to build strength and independence. His goal is to walk independently, run, jump, and ride a bike. Your support directly funds the therapies and care that allow Lucas to keep fighting and growing stronger. Together, we can help this remarkable little boy achieve his dreams and contribute to the research that may one day lead to a cure. Thank you for standing with Lucas and his family in this urgent fight.

Brokers Who Care voted and we are pleased to announce that we will be sending a cheque in the amount of $10,000 to Lisse's Family Fighting for Healing and Stability our Recipient of the 1st Quarter 2026 vote. Thank you Lauren Sbitney for bringing this Cause to our attention. Lisse and her husband Zach are facing an urgent crisis after Lisse was diagnosed with aggressive MS that threatened complete paralysis. In January 2025, emergency hospitalization revealed major spinal lesions, and she was told she could lose all mobility within months. Desperate to save her life and health, they drained their life savings and fundraised to pursue a stem cell transplant in Mexico. While the treatment has halted the disease's progression, recovery requires one to two years of intensive care and therapy. Eight months in, Lisse continues to make slow gains alongside expected setbacks. With Zach unable to work since December 2024 to care for both Lisse and their 10-month-old daughter Effie, the family is drowning in mounting debt despite living on an extremely tight budget. Their income-assistance application is still pending after six months of waiting.  They urgently need support to access therapies that could meaningfully accelerate Lisse's healing and provide their family with basic stability. Your help would ease their financial burden and allow them to focus on recovery and giving Effie the secure childhood she deserves.
