Together, StayWell and Sky View Suites have changed the lives of many, and saved the lives of some. Tina was diagnosed with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertensions, or (CTEPH), a rare disease caused by blood clots and their remaining scar tissue, which creates high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs and ultimately leads to heart-failure. Even with treatment, CTEPH is life-threatening and in Tina's case, a double-lung transplant was required at Toronto General Hospital, far from her home in the suburbs of Ottawa.
When relocating to a major city for a double lung transplant, Tina notes that there were specific parameters to qualify for the program – one being living in close proximity to the hospital. In Toronto, the areas surrounding the hospitals are amongst the most expensive in the city. Tina commented "If you cannot afford to live in Toronto and you're making the choice to not accept treatment, then you are basically making the choice to die". Thankfully, Matt Regush, a partner at Sky View Suites, learned of Tina's relocation challenges and immediately provided her and her family with a fully furnished unit at a reduced cost.
