和常老师一起，为孩子们尽一份心
我是常先，朋友和学生们习惯叫我常老师。我在多伦多生活，研究和教授易学与中国传统文化，也是一位父亲。
接触命理、风水这些年，我越来越觉得，人们想求的，往往没有那么复杂。家人平安，孩子健康，一家人能踏踏实实地过日子，就已经很珍贵了。
我们牵挂自己的孩子，也不难理解另一些父母的心情。当孩子正在面对疾病时，他们盼望的，也是孩子能够好起来，回到原本的生活。
中国文化讲仁爱，讲推己及人。在我看来，这些道理可以从很近的地方做起：先照顾好自己的家人，在有余力的时候，也为别人的难处尽一点心。
这也是我愿意发起这份筹款的原因。
生活在多伦多，我希望自己所学、所讲的东西，能够落实到所在的社区。支持 SickKids，是我选择的一种方式。通过 SickKids Foundation，我们可以支持儿童医疗与研究，让这份关心有一个具体的去处。
我能做的有限，但身边有学生、有朋友，也有许多素未谋面、愿意与人为善的人。我想借这个页面，把大家的一点心意汇在一起。
不需要等到自己很富有，才开始帮助别人。先把自己的生活照顾好，力所能及地参与就好。金额由你决定；愿意把这个页面分享给有意支持的朋友，也很感谢。
谢谢已经参与的每一位朋友。因为你们，这件事一直在继续。
如果你也愿意，可以通过本页面直接向 SickKids Foundation 捐款。让我们一起，为孩子们尽一份心。

Together with Teacher Chang, supporting children
I’m Chang Xian. My friends and students usually call me Teacher Chang. I live in Toronto, where I study and teach the I Ching and Chinese traditional culture. I am also a father.
Through my years working with BaZi and Feng Shui, I have come to feel that what people hope for is often quite simple: a family that is safe, children who are healthy, and a steady life together. These things are already precious.
Because we care about our own children, it is not difficult to understand what other parents are going through. When a child faces illness, their family hopes for them to get better and return to everyday life.
Chinese culture teaches benevolence and extending to others the care we feel for those close to us. To me, this begins nearby: looking after our own families and, when we have the capacity, helping someone else through a difficult time.
That is why I started this fundraiser.
Living in Toronto, I want the things I study and teach to find expression in the community I call home. Supporting SickKids is one way I have chosen to do that. Through SickKids Foundation, we can support children’s healthcare and research and put our concern into practice.
What I can do alone is limited. But there are students, friends, and people I have never met who also want to help. I hope this page can bring our contributions together.
We do not have to wait until we are wealthy to help others. Please look after your own needs first and participate in whatever way is comfortable for you. The amount is your choice. Sharing this page with someone who may wish to support it is also appreciated.
Thank you to everyone who has already taken part. You are the reason this effort continues.
If you would like to contribute, you can donate directly to SickKids Foundation through this page. Together, let’s do what we can for the children.
