Giving Tuesday: Why Give?
GivingTuesday is coming up fast!
On November 28th, we invite you to make a donation to the Anishnawbe Health Foundation. With your donation you have the incredible opportunity to bring about positive change in urban Indigenous peoples access to culturally informed healthcare.
Did you know that for over 30 years, Anishnawbe Health Toronto has pioneered a unique healthcare model, integrating Western medicine with traditional healing services. It is the only health facility in Toronto of its kind.
Guided by the teachings of Traditional Healers, Elders and medicine people, we aim to build a healthy, strong Indigenous community by looking at health holistically. We don’t just offer a bandage solution – we are helping clients to overcome barriers to health and living a good life; barriers such as homelessness, poverty, trauma, abuse and addiction.”
– Joe Hester, Executive Director, AHT.
The mission of the health center is essential to the work of the Truth and Reconciliation commission;
“We call upon those who can effect change within the Canadian health-care system to recognize the value of Indigenous healing practices and use them in the treatment of Indigenous patients in collaboration with Indigenous healers and Elders where requested by Indigenous patients.”
– Call to Action #22, Truth and Reconciliation Commission, 2015
Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we’ve been empowered to help Indigenous community members like Rachael Leduc, Norman and Melanie Ashkewe.
Imagine what other possibilities will come to life if we collectively work together to raise funds on GivingTuesday!
Looking to call in your community to donate to AHF? We have created a few social media posts for you to share about our mission and the importance of giving to the Anishnawbe Health foundation this GivingTuesday.
