Description
Your Little Things gift provides essential items like nutritious food, clean clothing, personal hygiene products, and other basic necessities for someone in mental health or addiction recovery. These aren’t luxuries; they’re the foundation of dignity and healing that many people must sacrifice when prioritizing their recovery journey.
In Alberta, more than 160,000 children under 18 lived below the poverty line in 2018, and children and youth facing socioeconomic barriers were two to three times more likely to develop a mental illness.
The Little Things Fund removes the stress of survival, allowing individuals to focus entirely on their healing. When basic needs are met, people can engage more fully in treatment, maintain better physical health, and rebuild their sense of self-worth—all critical components of lasting recovery.
