BURLINGTON, ON
There is a group located on the western edge of Burlington that supports people going through difficult times.
Eagle’s Nest is one of the groups supported by the United Way. They have been around for 20 years.
What do they do? They embrace others with compassion, without judgment or shame. They pursue each action in love, demonstrating dignity and respect. They create a safe place, accepting and welcoming all people. They maintain integrity in their actions, reflecting honesty and trustworthiness.
The counselling service is in place to help people understand themselves, care for their mental health and learn new tools for healthy relationships. They offer counselling, coaching, support groups and programs to adults, youth, children and families. The services are low-cost or subsidized to help make them accessible to everyone without regard to religion, ethnicity, race, gender or sexuality.
Like every group they look to the community to raise funds.
They are currently in the last week of their fund raising campaign; it’s an online auction.
People can go on line and bid on the more than a hundred items that are waiting for bids.
The list of people who have donated goods and services is impressive.
Forget for a moment that you are supporting a worthy cause; there are some very good deals. You might want to check it out – see if there is something you have been looking for.
