In May 2021, I commenced my first fundraising event by selling boxes of various flavours of cupcakes each week of May. After the four weeks, I held this fundraiser, I raised over $226.00 which I donated to the Windsor Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.
We have all been seriously affected by COVID-19 and it has taken a vast toll on our mental health. The economic burden of mental illness in Canada is estimated at $51 billion per year. This includes health care costs, lost productivity, and reductions in health-related quality of life. CMHA offers a range of services to help people living in Windsor-Essex County. They have a variety of programs and services for the most seriously mentally ill along with those dealing with moderate mental illness and addictions.
