Telecare's Journey of Generosity: Join Us This #GivingTuesday

Welcome to Telecare's #GivingTuesday Campaign

As we approach the season of giving, we're excited about #GivingTuesday. It's not just another day to mark on our calendars; it's a day that sparks a change in how we perceive generosity.


Discovering #GivingTuesday and Telecare's Role

#GivingTuesday, falling on November 28th this year, is more than just a hashtag. It's a global movement that redefines the concept of giving. In a world where Black Friday and Cyber Monday emphasize consumption, #GivingTuesday offers a chance to focus on compassion. For Telecare, it's an opportunity to deepen our commitment to those in need of a listening ear and a supportive voice.


How You Can Join the Movement

Becoming part of this movement is easier and more impactful than you might think. You can:

> Donate: Every dollar helps us continue providing accessible services.

> Volunteer: Dedicate your time and lend a listening ear to someone in need.

> Spread Awareness: Share our mission with your circle and inspire them to get involved.


The Impact of Your Generosity

In the past, donations have enabled Telecare to make sure every call is answered, train more empathetic volunteers, and support more individuals in need. Telecare has received heartwarming stories from those who found solace and strength through Telecare's services - all because someone like you chose to give.


Your Contribution Creates Change

Your generosity directly impacts lives, offering comfort and connection to those who may feel alone. It's not just about the funds; it's about the message it sends - that no one is alone, and help is always within reach.


Matching Gift for #GivingTuesday: 

To make this #GivingTuesday even more extraordinary, a generous donor is providing a matching gift. Every gift up to the amount of $5000 will be matched. It's a great way to double your impact!

Gary and Jane represent a growing mental health crisis in Canada—one marked by hidden loneliness across all ages. Nearly 30% of Canadians report frequent feelings of loneliness which is a major contributor to depression and emotional distress. While Gary isolates in silence and Jane hides her pain behind good grades, both could benefit from intentional peer support. Services like Telecare and chat-based mental health support offer a lifeline to those who struggle to speak their pain aloud. For many, text and phone support lines reduce distress, offering compassionate care and hope.

When my husband passed away three years ago, I lost more than a partner—I lost my sense of purpose. My name is Margaret, and I’m 72 years old. I spent nearly 50 years married to the love of my life, building a home, raising children, and sharing every part of my day with him. When he was gone, the house we filled with laughter and memories became unbearably quiet.

One night, lying awake in the early hours, I came across Telecare’s number while scrolling through mental health resources. Something about the phrase “compassionate listening” gave me the courage to call. My hands shook as I dialled, but I thought, What do I have to lose?

Life is filled with moments of difficulty, pain, and uncertainty. In such times, finding words to express our emotions or to pray can feel impossible. The Psalms, however, offer a lifeline.
