Our Cause · MDC Alliance
1 PURCHASE.
1 DONATION.
For every book purchased from Éditions MDC, a donation is made to the Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec. Not a slogan. A commitment.
A CAUSE.
A REAL IMPACT.
We don't engage in superficial charity. We chose one cause, and one only, and we're sticking to it. The Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec welcomes children who start life with fewer resources and less support. Every book we sell finances the Centre. It's as simple, and as serious, as that.
The foundation we support
The Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec welcomes hundreds of children each year who grow up in vulnerable contexts. In the heart of Limoilou, in the real world, not in a press release.
Its strength is bringing together medicine, psychosocial intervention, and law under one roof. A unique approach in Quebec, designed for the real complexity of families. Where the traditional system fragments, the CPSQ unites.
One child, one team, one place. It's a magnificent foundation, and it's exactly the kind of organization we want to help grow.
What the CPSQ does
-
Heal
Pediatric care for children who would otherwise fall through the cracks. Health first, without endless waiting lists.
-
Accompany
An intervention team that follows the child and their family daily. We don't just process a file; we accompany a life.
-
Protect
Access to resources to defend children's rights. A solid presence, when it matters most.
1 purchase · 1 donation
ONE BOOK PURCHASED.
ONE DONATION MADE.
The principle is simple, and we keep it simple. For every book in the "How to become a superhero" collection that you purchase, a cash donation is made to the CPSQ.
You buy your book, the Centre receives a donation. No fine print, no vague promises. One book purchased, one donation made.
The more the collection is distributed, the more support the CPSQ receives. The impact grows with each purchase. It's a cause measured in real donations, not intentions.
“HERE, WE HEAL.
WE LISTEN.
WE PROTECT.”
AN ESSENTIAL PRESENCE,
IN THE HEART OF LIMOILOU.
Why this cause, and not another? Because MDC provides guidance through books, and the CPSQ reaches exactly the children who need it most.
A book in the hands of a child supported today is a foundation for the adult they will become. A child helped today becomes the one who supports the next generation.
The majority of the CPSQ's funding comes from philanthropy. Every book purchased concretely changes what the Centre can offer. That's the meaning of the model we've chosen.
THE CPSQ'S
APPROACH
04 expertises
under one roof
02
Psychosocial
An intervention team that supports the child and their family in their daily lives. The connection above all else.
03
Law
Resources to defend children's rights. Because protecting a child sometimes also means defending them.
04
Family
Everything starts with the child in their environment. We don't treat an isolated symptom; we support an entire life.
Why this cause is close to our hearts
MDC means books and content to help young people become a better version of themselves. But a book is useless if it never gets into the right hands.
The CPSQ reaches precisely the children we want to reach. Those who start with less. Helping the CPSQ is not a cause separate from our mission. It is our mission, made concrete.
We don't donate for appearances. We donate because a child equipped today is a stronger adult tomorrow. That's the whole MDC project, summarized in a single action.
Our commitment, clearly
-
The same mission
To uplift the children who need it most. The CPSQ does it in real life; we do it through books. Same direction.
-
A measurable impact
Not a vague promise. A very real donation made to the Centre with each book sold. We count donations, not good intentions.
-
Transparency
The report of donations made to the CPSQ will be published each January on this page. Figures as clear as the cause.
