Cherri Bakes recently ran a special fundraiser for Voices of Hope through her business - here is her story.
"Supporting Voices of Hope was something that felt really important to me. I care deeply about mental health and the work Voices of Hope does to create a space where people can share their stories, feel heard and, most importantly, know they’re not alone.
Having lost my sister, Chanelle, to suicide, mental health and suicide prevention are causes that are incredibly close to my heart. I know how deeply suicide affects not only the person struggling, but also the people who love them and are left behind.
Throughout September, I ran a fundraiser through my business, Cherri Bakes, raising money for Voices of Hope through sales and an exclusive Cherri Drop of Suicide Awareness cookies, featuring meaningful messages of hope.
I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the fundraiser. It was really special seeing something as simple as baking bring people together to support a cause that means so much to me. I’m proud that Cherri Bakes could play a small part in supporting the incredible work Voices of Hope does, and I hope to continue supporting them in the future."
