A huge thank you to everyone who managed to make it to the charity shop today. Thank you to everyone for all the donations. We appreciate your support of the animals in need. YOU make it possible and make a difference for the fur-kids. A huge thank you to the rescues. It was a hot day, but you got through it with panting, begging, and chilling in the shade.

Today, we attended Linda McKenzie's memorial service. It was a morning where people could put their differences aside and unite in the memory of a remarkable woman. Linda has left her mark in the Edenvale community ,she will be missed by so many people in the community. In the end, I think we all realize that Linda was a teacher. She taught us to stand up for what is right and speak up for those who's voices were silenced. Stand your ground, and rise up for what you believe in, for what drives your passion. There is so much we will miss, picking up the phone for a simple chat, for advice. Sitting back catching up while her phone would ring a 100 times, each call was answered because no matter who we were in the community, we were all treated equally. Today, it was said that Linda was a mother or sister to us all, and that is true. Linda always showed strength and stood at the front, protecting everyone. A natural born mother, leader, and dear friend to so many of us. Thank you Linda for always being there for the community, you are missed, you will be forever loved and each of us will carry your life lessons through our daily lives, honoring you and always remaining respectful of each other. RIP

Before October comes to an end, a month where mental health is highlighted, we would like to reach out to those suffering from depression. It is not only the person who suffers from depression but their family, friends, and co-workers are affected too. Not everyone knows how to reach out, offer help, or simply be there for someone. This does make you heartless, it just means we are reaching a stage in time where mental health is being highlighted about, no longer hidden but the problem is when someone is suffering in silence, putting on a brave face, faking laughter and going on as normal. Please reach out to someone. Talk to your Dr, a family member, a friend, or call the helpline below. Please don't wait till you have hit the long dark hole. That feels too difficult to pull yourself out. YOU are never alone. As I suffer from depression myself, I understand the days when everything feels heavy and you are asked, "Did you take your medication?", when someone forces you to get up, makes you go on with your daily lives, when you would just rather lay in bed and sleep or stare at the ceiling for days. Depression can be downplayed by friends or family, they will say things like "you will get over it, get up!. Every moment is spent planning our way out of here, or we have already tried, or already died. We speak to so many people, and many have lost the light in their eyes. The tea garden on a Saturday morning is filled with different people, different paths to travel but you will never be left to travel it on your own. For those that are suffering, please reach out for help, for those witnessing a loved one disappearing, loosening their spark, please reach out,get them help but most of all be patient, be kind. No one would ever choose to be depressed, we look at those friends or family members that are always positive and happy and sometimes selfishly want to exchange places just for a day to feel what they feel, what could have been, what could be if only the dark veile did not wrap itself around us and consume us. As difficult as it is for someone who does not suffer from mental health problems, it is just as difficult for those suffering from it to understand wh? why me? Together, we can be there for each other,just someone who will listen to us,no advice, and sometimes just sitting together in silence can be comforting. Please seek help, You are worth it. You are someone's child, parent, friend, or sibling. Mental health should be highlighted everyday, organizations contact numbers should be seen, not something we have to Google at the last minute.
