The Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Centre is a newly established Charity who is moving into a new centre. With this move, they will be expanding their services. They require computers to help them input their client meetings as well as to run the programming. They host many events in their space some include the training of health providers to better understand the traumatic effects an individual and family faces after a pregnancy loss. The ERA was happy to provide the Centre with a laptop and a projector. This will allow them to have volunteers work in their centre. Right now they are limited on their volunteers as they are unable to access documents as well as collaborate in an effective manner.
They are presently fundraising to be able to offer comprehensive mental health support through the journey of grief. Join them on Saturday, May 3rd for a three-course brunch experience at the picturesque, peaceful setting of Azuridge Estate Hotel. Expect an afternoon of fun, connection, laughter and reflection. The event will also feature a silent auction, mimosas, guest speakers, prizes and entertainment. All funds raised will go to the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Centre, which creates a safe space for individuals and families to connect to their community so they are not alone in their loss. All tickets sold before March 31, 2020 will be entered to win chauffeured transportation to and from the event for up to 2 guests. Visit their website here to purchase your tickets.
