Introducing the Fallen Leaf Fund
2013 is shaping up to be a big year for our organization; we're celebrating our organization's 8th year and would like to continue to develop our presence in the community.
1 in 5 Canadians are affected by mental illness and unfortunately due to social stigma many go undiagnosed. In addition, many individuals find themselves slipping through the cracks of government-assisted funding and are forced to deal with their intellectual disabilities alone. Due to our successes and accessible admissions, we frequently find ourselves approached by individuals who desperately need our help but fail to meet the requirements to receive funding to participate in support programs.
In our pursuit of finding different funding sources, we have created the Fallen Leaf Fund. The Fallen Leaf Fund is an initiative that will provide funding to support these individuals in our community in the same manner that participants with approved funding from Manitoba Family Services and Housing receive.
Please help us continue to help those who are in desperate need of Turning Leaf Community Support Services Inc.
