Those were the words that Georgia McAlpine wrote in a note to her parents before she took her own life in 2016. Cam, Georgia91裸聊视频檚 father, said she wanted nothing but to help others throughout her life and even in her last moments, she wanted to keep helping others.

So despite how difficult it is to talk about and relive, the McAlpine family has been advocating for youth mental health wellness, raising funds for community programs, even working with CMHA Kelowna on its board so they can help make a difference.

With the help of CMHA Kelowna, the McAlpine family was able to set up a permanent fund called Georgia91裸聊视频檚 Wish, to which people can donate. Money that Georgia91裸聊视频檚 Wish raises funds community programs, including Foundry Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 Mobile Wellness Unit, which offers youth support in Lake Country, Kelowna, and West Kelowna.
