The month of October is dedicated to a fundraising campaign that makes all of our programs possible. This month, we want to invite you to reflect on a question that will change lives: Why support EDF?

Each of us has a personal reason that drives our desire to give. It could be a memory of a loved one, a passion for a program you volunteer to support, or a vision for recovery for yourself or others. Here at EDF, we believe that discovering your “why” is just as important as the act of giving itself. 

Here’s Why Your “Why” Matters:

Personal Connection: When you understand your reason for donating, it becomes a powerful motivator. Is it the joy of helping others? The hope for a better community? Whatever your reason, it inspires you to take action.

Creating Lasting Impact: Your donation supports educational presentations, resource navigation, support groups, mentorship, professional training, and more. Imagine your “why” in action—transforming lives and making a tangible difference in our community.

Building a Community of Givers: When you share your “why,” you inspire others to think about their own reasons for giving. Together, we can create a ripple effect of generosity and compassion.

We Want to Hear From You!

As we launch our campaign, we encourage you to reflect on your personal “why.” What motivates you to support our mission? Share your story with us by email or in social media, and you may inspire someone else to find their own reason to give!

Ready to turn your “why” into action? Click here to donate today. Your support can bring hope and change to those who need it most.

Thank you for considering this journey with us. Together, let’s uncover our collective “whys” and create a brighter future.

P.S. If you’re unable to donate right now, we’d love for you to share your story with friends and family. Your voice can help inspire others to reflect on their own “why”!

“It is one of the few places that I feel safe and validated. Although my issues are difficult to face, I feel like I can forge ahead, if only to honor the bravery of my fellow group members. Also a thank you to EDF for seeing me, and offering space for me. Most people in my life never took the time to see me or listen. They wanted to force me into what they saw, or thought that I should be.”

“EDF provides a space for me, as a family member, to cry, talk, and hear from other experiencing the same
heartbreak.”
