Ravensdown's Gumboot Friday appeal.

Ravensdown are getting behind I Am Hope and Gumboot Friday to raise money for free and timely counselling for any kid in need.

Having depression is like walking through mud every day. So on Friday 5 April 2019, we're asking you to show your support. Put your gumboots on, make a donation, and take a walk in their shoes for just one day.

Last year in New Zealand 137 young people died by suicide and it is estimated another 3500 attempted to take their own lives. While government agencies are doing their best some kids are stuck waiting up to six months to receive the counselling they so urgently need.

All donations are deposited into the Kiwibank Gumboot Friday account. The money will then go directly to the registered health professional upon receipt of an invoice.

This will ensure 100% of your money goes directly to kids getting the help and support they need, when they need it most.
