My Story…
Hi there,
As a result of this past year I've been looking into how to donate my time to organizations with a mental illness and addictions focus. The stars aligned and I've found the perfect organization to get involved with in Eli's Place.
I had been thinking for some time about what an ideal treatment program would look like and, low and behold, Eli's Place is based on a proven treatment model already running in the states that is even better than anything I could have dreamt up myself.
Eli's Place has just launched a capital campaign to raise money for purchasing the property. They put a call out into the universe and I heard it. We've all been lucky in that my skillset (designing case for supports for charities) was exactly what was needed to get their capital campaign underway.
I am jumping aboard ship at a very exciting phase. Eli's Place is very close to literally breaking ground and saving lives, helping young adults with mental illness thrive, not merely just survive.
I feel like I've had my cap in hand a lot this year so please give only if you feel like this is a worthwhile organization and can afford it.
More importantly, your emotional support to my family and I over the years has meant the world to us. We are very lucky:)

Description
For the 160,000 young adults in Ontario grappling with serious mental illness, access to effective treatment is grossly inadequate. The cost in lives lived with debilitating challenges or lost to early death is far too great. The vision of Eli’s Place aims to bring hope. A first-of-its-kind in Canada, Eli’s Place is modelled after a leading rural, residential long-term treatment centre with proven success. Programs that incorporate therapeutic work, specialized care and skills training will offer a path to recovery for people in this underserved age group, giving them the tools to heal and move from simply surviving to living.
