My involvement is with the education and training program at Canadian Mental Health Association, which is funded by United Way donations. It has literally saved my life.

I always felt like a burden to society, but I'm now able to give back to the community by volunteering and can now make a difference for others. My motivational/public speaking has enabled me to grow in my recovery and remain healthy. I was literally on deaths doors, very alone & depressed, no family, friends, or purpose. And now I am very alive with much purpose in my life and many friends. None of this would be possible without the United Way.
