Friends,
October is a great time to reflect on all that we are thankful for - our donors and supporters, the amazing organizations who are working hard to make real change happen for those impacted by mental illness and addictions, those who are changing the way we talk and think about mental health, and those with lived experience who have shared their stories.
It is also a great time to look forward. Our
Dollar-A-Dayers
are paving the road for better mental health and addictions care services all across Canada, and we respectfully ask you to consider joining our social movement and become a
Dollar-A-Dayer
today!
Thank you for believing in our mission, and the importance of mental health and addictions care. Change
is
possible.
All the best,
Brendan, Alan & Andrew
