Vanessa’s Story – Supporting multiple programs that work together to create lasting change

Vanessa was homeless and numbed her feelings of guilt and shame with drugs and alcohol. After Child Welfare told her she couldn’t live with her son due to her addiction, she later decided to reach out for help. Luckily, she was able to access multiple programs along her journey that helped change her life.

Today, Vanessa works full-time as an outreach worker and lives at home with her son and daughter. United Way supports multiple programs that work together to create lasting change. Because supporters do local good, individuals like Vanessa are housed and helping others.

Support local healthcare while winning amazing prizes!

Red Deer Regional Health Foundation

When you purchase tickets for Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50, you do more than just play—you become part of something bigger. You help bridge the gap between what government funding provides and what your hospital truly needs to deliver exceptional care.

Your support helps fund state-of-the-art equipment that doctors and nurses need right now to care for patients across Central Alberta. While plans for the hospital expansion move forward, healthcare doesn’t wait. Patients in our community need access to life-saving technology today, and your generosity makes that possible.

This year’s lottery will fund essential new and replacement equipment, ensuring your hospital can continue to serve the 500,000 people who rely on it. When you purchase your ticket, you’re investing in innovation, excellence, and a healthier future for Central Alberta.
