Heather Lemieux's Virtual Uplifting Party
Welcome to my fundraising page! Together, we're raising funds and awareness for Canadian women and children who have experienced violence and are living at our local women's shelter, Julliette's Place.
I am personally going to match the first $1,000 donated.
.Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic created a “perfect storm” for domestic violence to increase. Physical distancing means some women have been in the presence of their abusers 24/7 when stress and worry have been at an all-time high. For some, job loss and economic uncertainty has created even more volatile circumstances at home. There are also fewer ways out of these dangerous situations. Where once a woman could call a crisis line while her partner was at work, now these life-saving calls are made while an abuser sleeps in the next room. Bottom line - Our shelter needs our help now more than ever.
Last May we hosted an Uplifting Party (photo above) with the goal to lift the spirits and breasts of the women staying at the shelter, and we were successfully able to donate over 300 bras to Julliette's Place! This year, we decided to host another event to raise money for the shelter as well as to raise YOUR spirits! We hope you will join us on Wednesday August 19th for a fun-filled event featuring exciting presenters, including:
- Make-up artist Dino Dilio
- Designer Jennifer Beckford
- Crafter Jennifer Tryon
- Physiotherapist Penny Lee
- Mixologist Liz Furlong
- Chef Kathryn McLean
- Julliette's Place staff who will explain how the pandemic has affected the shelter and how social distancing measures have affected women and children experiencing violence.
