For you. For your loved ones. For our future.
Your support means better health for EVERYONE this holiday season… including patients like Eve
We can tell you this for certain: YOU gave Eve hope during one of the darkest times in her life. Her dark moment came when her twin daughters were 18 months old. She had struggled with mental health throughout her life. When her daughters were born, there were loads of people around and lots of help. She was on maternity leave and everything felt okay. But then, about a year later, everything just sort of came crashing down on her.
Eve hit rock bottom and knew she needed to be checked into the hospital right away. What she didn’t know at the time was that hitting rock bottom was also a new beginning. It was the beginning of hope.
You know what gives Eve hope? Knowing that people like you are out there, giving from your heart, to make sure people like Eve receive the best care possible.
Somebody else’s rock bottom can also be the beginning of hope. But we can’t do it without you. Your special holiday gift today can make a difference in someone’s life tomorrow.
