1000 Cranes for Mental Health

I am folding 1000 paper cranes to raise awareness for mental health in New Zealand

Wellington

I am trying to raise $1000 for mental health NZ. For each dollar raise I will fold one paper crane. Anyone who donates can comment and I will write your name/the name of a friend/ family member on the number of cranes you funded.

The significance of the 1000 cranes: In Japanese culture anyone who folds 1000 cranes gets granted a wish by the gods. I'm hoping everyone who donates shares in my wish to make mental health something we all can feel comfortable talking about.

Ben Sherwood's involvement (page creator)

I am involved in this because we all know someone suffering from a mental illness, and sadly there are many more who are alone without the support that is so desperately needed.
