Hello Allan,
It’s not even 2:30 PM and we’ve already reached our $25,000 goal thanks to one generous donor, Allan, all the way from Ontario! When speaking with us, he did make one small request… that we create a new stretch goal of $30,000!
“I’m grateful that those who have been harmed by sexualized violence can turn to the compassionate team at Salal to get the support they need in those critical moments after an assault. Sexualized violence happens beyond a 9-5 schedule so knowing that someone can turn to Salal in their moment of need, 24 hours a day, is something worth supporting! The work that Salal does is hard, but donating can be easy. Thank you for all you do!” ~ Allan Bush
As of right now we have raised $28,970! That means we only have $1,030 away from hitting our stretch goal. Our stretch goal will help us offer even more hours of support on the 24 Hours Crisis & Information Line, and more ways for survivors to find a community of connection and healing through our counselling and Victim Services programs.
Thanks to Allan Bush and the team at CIBC Private Wealth Woody Gundy for your generous gift to help ensure that ALL survivors of sexualized violence can get the support they need, when they need it the most.
We can’t wait to celebrate raising $30,000 for survivors with all of you!
Sincerely,
Laurie (she/her)
