Supporting Heartache2Hope and Walk 2 Remember

We are grateful to NUC member Terry Hope for sharing a meaningful video highlighting his journey with Heartache2Hope (https://heartache2hope.com/) — an organization offering compassionate support to those grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide in Halton and surrounding communities. After first attending their grief groups, Terry completed peer support training and now helps others navigate this difficult journey.

The video shares part of Terry’s story and promotes Heartache2Hope’s annual Walk 2 Remember fundraiser on June 14th, supporting this vital work.

Watch the video and learn more here: https://mindfloodmedia.pixieset.com/heartache2hope/

We give thanks for Terry’s courage and for the hope he helps to foster in our wider community.
