Bereavement service needs your help
THE Crystal Lee Foundation has this week launched a fundraising campaign to ensure the continuation of its bereavement counselling service.
The registered Warrnambool-based charity, which has helped thousands of individuals and families across the south west, is now in need of community support.
The foundation receives no government funding but fills a critical service gap in the community.
“The foundation is calling on local businesses and community organisations to pledge annual, tax-deductible donations as the end of the financial year approaches,” Ms Clifford said.
These contributions will help keep the counselling service operating in its current form, ensuring that no-one has to face grief alone.
“Death is inevitable but grief is complex. We each grieve in our own way and in our own time,” Ms Clifford said.
“Through this campaign we hope to shine a light for those in the darkness of loss.”
The campaign is off to a great start with a generous donation from Kirky Cooks, along with an annual donation from Midfield for the next three years.
The ‘Light through the Darkness’ campaign will continue until the fundraising goal is met.
Every dollar raised will go directly toward sustaining and expanding the foundation’s compassionate support services.
