Fundraising

Hi lovely people

At this stage it feels like we all have touched the dire state of NZ's mental health system some way or another :( This year I'd love for us to support I Am Hope / Gumboot Friday in their efforts to help Kiwi youth.

NZ suicide rates have increased for four consecutive years and we are one of the leading countries in the world for youth suicide.  Last year in New Zealand 137 young people died by suicide and it is estimated another 3,500 attempted to take their own lives. While Government agencies are doing their best, some kids are waiting up to six months to receive the counselling they so urgently need.

I AM HOPE is an initiative by The Key to Life Charitable Trust, a fundraising and advocacy organisation, which supports young people who are struggling with their mental health. They help connect young people with existing counsellors or therapists and provide funding, so that kids get help as soon as they need it.

Thanks so much and lots of love,

Tash
