Hello Glen

Here's your weekly reminder of upcoming workshops, programs & special events at HopeSpring. 

Welcome to our new Inn of Waterloo location!

Today we reopen at 9 am in our new location at the Inn of Waterloo at 475 King St N. The HopeSpring main entrance will be at the back of the Inn, with those who need an accessible entrance free to use the Inn's main doors. HopeSpring will have volunteers to assist members with the new location.

August Fundraising Goal

August ended at $27,327, an excellent amount for a summer month. Thank you to our board chair, Shuchanna, who has been raising money for her Triathlon, Andrew's Walk and Mario's golf tournament, all contributing a large amount to what we raised in August.

We missed our monthly expense target by $7,673 (a smaller fundraising gap than July, which is positive). and are confident September expenses will be met now that we are in our new location.

We appreciate all your support. Donations are always gratefully accepted through our  <http://hopespring.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=5b672568a4&e=ece80c31c3> CanadaHelps, or calling in 519-742-4673 to make a donation by credit card or in person.

Body Image & Self Esteem - NEW!

New program about the impact of body image and our self-esteem

Body image involves the way we think and feel about our bodies. Cancer can change the way we look and how we experience our bodies both physically and emotionally. It can impact the way the body functions, leave scars, make you lose your hair, and cause changes in moods and energy levels. These changes can have an impact on our self-esteem. In this workshop, we will explore the impact of a negative body image on self-esteem of a negative body image on self-esteem and identify strategies to assist you in developing a healthy body image. If you have concerns or questions about your body image, this workshop will allow you to talk openly with a health care professional.

where members and friends can donate.  All proceeds will go directly to Hope Spring.
