Steps for Brielle

Brielle’s dream of walking is now one step closer to reality, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community. Cochrane Toyota was proud to host the Hearts in Motion Silent Auction, an event that brought together so many people and proved once again what Cochrane is made of. Together, we helped Brielle raise the full $43,000 needed for her robotic legs!

A Community United

This heartwarming event showcased the power of community. A special shoutout goes to @DanKroffat for leading and organizing the silent auction, and to @McDonaldsCochrane for generously providing coffee and treats for our guests. The Filipino community in Cochrane played a vital role in organizing and rallying support, and numerous local businesses stepped up to contribute, donate, and help make the day unforgettable.

Every detail mattered—from families showing up to support Brielle, to friends and neighbours bidding in the silent auction. The energy, generosity, and hope in the room were palpable, making it a truly magical afternoon.
