No one should have to wait for help when life feels heavy.

Chances are, you know someone struggling with their mental wellbeing. They may have trouble focusing at school, managing family life, or finding and keeping a job. The harsh reality is, our communities are in a mental health crisis.

Your donation will provide vital mental health resources through:

  • Day programs for seniors who live alone or feel isolated, helping them find connections to brighten their day.

  • After-school homework clubs for kids who might not have the words to explain how they feel, ensuring they know trusted adults have their backs.

  • Drop-in centres for homeless youth, giving them a place to go that’s warm and welcoming to help them through challenging times.

  • Counselling that meets people where they’re at—whether that’s in-person, online, or by phone.

We’re all connected.

Give today to strengthen your community’s wellbeing.
