Accessible pediatric care, for children who wouldn't always get that follow-up elsewhere. Health as the starting point.
Our cause · MDC Alliance
1 PURCHASE.
1 DONATION.
Every book bought at Éditions MDC is a donation to the Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec. Not a slogan. A commitment.
ONE CAUSE.
A REAL IMPACT.
We don't do charity for show. We chose one cause, a single one, and we stick to it. The Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec welcomes children who start life with fewer bearings and less of a safety net. Every book we sell funds the Centre. It's that simple, and that serious.
The foundation we support
The Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec welcomes hundreds of children every year who grow up in a context of vulnerability. In the heart of Limoilou, in the real world, not in a press release.
Its strength is bringing medicine, psychosocial support and law together under one roof. An approach unique in Quebec, designed for the real complexity of families. Where the traditional system fragments, the CPSQ brings together.
One child, one team, one place. It's a magnificent foundation, and exactly the kind of organization we want to help grow.
What the CPSQ does
-
Care
Pediatric care for children who would otherwise slip under the radar. Health first, without an endless waiting list.
-
Support
An intervention team that follows the child and their family day to day. We don't process a file, we walk alongside a life.
-
Protect
Access to resources to defend the rights of the child. A solid presence, when it matters most.
1 purchase · 1 donation
ONE BOOK BOUGHT.
ONE DONATION GIVEN.
The principle is simple, and we keep it simple. For every book in the "How to Become a Superhero" collection you buy, a cash donation is given to the CPSQ.
You buy your book, the Centre receives a donation. No fine print, no vague promise. One book bought, one donation given.
The more the collection spreads, the more support the CPSQ receives. The impact grows with every purchase. It's a cause measured in real donations, not intentions.
"HERE, WE CARE.
WE LISTEN.
WE PROTECT."
AN ESSENTIAL PRESENCE,
IN THE HEART OF LIMOILOU.
Why this cause, and not another? Because MDC passes on bearings through books, and the CPSQ reaches exactly the children who need them most.
A book in the hands of a supported child today is a foundation for the adult they'll become. A child helped today becomes the one who holds up the next generation.
Most of the CPSQ's funding comes from philanthropy. Every book bought concretely changes what the Centre can offer. That's the point of the model we chose.

THE CPSQ
APPROACH
04 areas of expertise
under one roof
02
Psychosocial
An intervention team that supports the child and their family in the reality of daily life. The bond above all.
03
Law
Resources to defend the rights of the child. Because protecting a child sometimes also means defending them.
04
Family
It all starts with the child in their environment. We don't treat an isolated symptom, we support a whole life.
Why it matters to us
MDC is books and content to help young people become a better version of themselves. But a book is useless if it never reaches the right hands.
The CPSQ reaches precisely the children we want to reach. The ones who start with less. Helping the CPSQ isn't a cause on the side of our mission. It is our mission, made concrete.
We don't give for image. We give because a child equipped today is a stronger adult tomorrow. That's the whole MDC project, summed up in a single act.
Our commitment, in plain terms
-
The same mission
Raising the children who need it most. The CPSQ does it in real life, we do it through books. Same direction.
-
An impact you can measure
Not a vague promise. A very real donation given to the Centre, with every book sold. We count donations, not good intentions.
