Kim will be facilitating Breaking Free Foundation’s November 21st meet-up. The meet-up is for trauma survivors and their supporters. They meet monthly and Kim is honoured to be the guest facilitator for this meet-up.

The Breaking Free Foundation needs your support.

Earlier this year, the Breaking Free Foundation finally received charitable status, a feat that took years. That great accomplishment meant they could now give out tax receipts to donors, and funding is even more important now. Since its inception, they have facilitated over 60 meet-ups for trauma survivors and their supporters, and 52 people have successfully received Therapy Grants from the Therapy Grant Program.

But there are nearly as many people waiting to access this much-needed funding right now. Breaking Free has recently fallen on hard economic times, and they are working hard to educate people on who they are and what we do. In addition to getting more therapy funding to recipients in need, we are also fundraising in large numbers to build a trauma healing centre, where we would be able to offer programs and healing modalities all year-round and all the time.

To help people understand the current needs and the successes Breaking Free Foundation has already achieved, they have created a robust document that will help any potential donor. If your company (or anyone you know) is looking to allocate end-of-year donations somewhere, please pass on their CASE FOR SUPPORT.
