About Gifts of Light

“Facing addiction can be difficult at any time – I’ve been there. But spending the holidays in hospital for a mental illness or addiction is especially lonely. Please help someone facing these challenges by joining me in giving Gifts of Light this holiday season. You’ll give so much more than the gift: you’ll give the hope that comes from knowing that you’re not alone, that someone cares.”                                                 - Frank O’Dea, Founder of Second Cup

Thousands of Canadians struggle with mental illnesses and/or addictions. Unfortunately, many people suffer in silence and feel alone in their search for help. Many of the patients at CAMH do not receive cards, gifts or even visitors while undergoing treatment.

CAMH is Canada’s leading addiction and mental health teaching hospital located in Toronto. We provide excellent and comprehensive clinical care for all of our patients – from counseling to long-term, in-patient care. Today we’re asking you to help us shed light on the darkness that surrounds mental illness and addiction by purchasing a Gift of Light!

Whether it’s a real and personal gift that will be given to a patient staying at CAMH over the holidays, or a gift that assists a patient along the road to recovery, you’ll be making a difference in someone’s life. The gift reminds them that someone cares and that they are not alone in their journey to recovery.

Please, purchase a Gift of Light today and make a difference this holiday season!
