October 8th is The Gatehouse Healing the Voice Within Gala.
It is our biggest fundraiser of the year.
Community services have been gutted across the board. The Gatehouse is a charity, and the work it does now depends heavily on people choosing to give a damn.
But this night is about more than raising money.
It is a celebration.
A celebration of art.
Of expression.
Of healing.
Of people finding their voices.
Art has been a powerful part of my own healing. Writing. Collaging. Dancing. Creating. Finding ways to express what sometimes cannot be spoken.
This evening brings artists together to share their gifts with us.
If you can come, come.
And if you can’t, but you know someone living with the aftermath of child sexual violence, consider gifting them a ticket.
Give them a night surrounded by art.
Give them a night of celebration.
Give them a chance to sit in a room filled with people who understand.
Sometimes we just need to feel the love in the room.
I hope you’ll be there.
