Wild-Maple Village Nonprofit for Mental Health

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Liz Taylor and I am the president and founder of WILD-MAPLE VILLAGE nonprofit for Mental health.
After having a complete mental break last summer ~ due to Covid fall-out and financial stressors….. I realized that falling into a depression can happen to ANYBODY … So I created this nonprofit to help people in communities around the world to get timely talk therapy~ if they’re suffering from depression, anxiety, or grief… At No Cost to them if they cannot afford it.
I was SO STRESSED OUT financially that
I started losing sleep…. sleeping only one to two hours per night for weeks … and woke up one morning feeling suicidal. Thankfully I called my doctor and she helped to get me on the correct medication…after trying two… (that’s a grind too~Because meds take up to six weeks to kick in ~ so patience is very important. She asked me if I had a therapist to which I replied No. She suggested that I get one as soon as possible… but I did not have $250 per hour to pay some therapist to listen to me… when I was already financially stressed to the max! There are some free government CBT programs online, which I did Google and find, and did the homework on….. but it’s not the same as having a talk therapist on your team to help get you better!! Actually, it makes all the difference!! I did book one complementary session that the government provided, and thankfully was connected with a wonderful therapist who really helped me to create my path of what I was going to do. Thankfully for me, it only took one session which was an hour and a half long….. by the grace of the therapist! (The government at that time was only providing ONE free 1/2 hour session and that’s it… but she has no appointments after me and we bonded quickly and she didn’t rush our appointment. I got a full hour and a half with Pamela (Thank GOD for Pamela!!!!…. She really cared!) and it really made me feel 1 million times better.)
Anyway… I realized that there is a giant gap in the system to help people with their mental health needs… And so many of us have gone through so much!…especially since Covid!!!!!
I had a hard time thinking about creating a go fund me… Because I just wasn’t raised that way… Asking people for money!… but this is not for me. This project is going to help thousands…. If not ~ Millions of People to get through the rough patches of life.
If it could happen to me… It could happen to anybody!!
Everybody that I have told my story to ~ has a similar one~ or knows somebody who is suffering from depression, anxiety for grief!!
I want people to know that they are NOT alone… And at times in life ~ we could all use a little help… And sometimes It Takes a Village! Wild-Maple Village is here!!!!!
My time running this nonprofit is 100% voluntary… Every dollar of donation goes towards paying the therapists who are helping people who reach out to us every day.
We are literally saving lives!!!!!!
I am putting in a ton of time creating events and fundraisers… But it just isn’t enough to keep up with the demand of people reaching out….So as an award winning Filmmaker and Actor… I am going to create a full-on TV Series with 1/2 hour segments of Real People telling their stories…. Documentary-Style.
It will allow hundreds (…. Thousands?… Millions?….) of people to connect… to realize that they are NOT Alone!
PLEASE … if you are able to make a donation in any amount… become part of a GREAT PROJECT!…. and truly helping to make the world a better place for all!
Currently we are a registered nonprofit
( business Number 752119149 RC0001 )(Getting “Charity status” takes ages… But I’m working on it.!)
please visit www.wildmaplevillage.com to find out more, or if you are in need of help yourself please don’t hesitate to reach out!! You are NOT alone!!!!
Thank you with all my heart for your support… Good Mental Health is integral … and I hope you’ll HELP Create this Project ~ and help make the world a better place than we found it
xoxo
