Thanks to a dedicated group of supporters who made their voices heard on our monthly Facebook donation contest, this month a dollar from every ticket sold (and a portion of private event funds) is going to Heal Your Heart With Art. This organization helps women who have survived some form of relationship abuse or trauma to heal in a supportive and creative environment.
Founded by Jackie Waugh, herself a survivor of abuse, the group has been active in the area for a couple of years, and periodically hosts workshops in the local community. Workshops are free of charge. They provide a safe and supportive environment for women to express themselves and focus on healing through painting. We are proud to be supporting this compassionate and courageous local organization.
If you or someone you know are in an abusive situation, you can find a list of resources here. If it is an emergency dial 911. It is important that you never post publicly about someone’s domestic situation, if you are concerned contact a crisis centre or local RCMP.
Heal Your Heart With Art will be hosting their next event on May 8th, 2019.
