Not sure if this belongs here but I didn't know where else to put it.....
The charity that I work for is a Healing Centre. It offers healing, counselling and support to anyone in need. It hosts several local Cancer Support groups. On October 28th we will be celebrating our 10th brithday - truly remarkable when you know that we have never charged for our services, asking only for donations, the ethos being "healing for all, regardless of ability to pay". We do not receive any grants or external funding as we refuse to be exclusive - we are here for anyone who needs us.
Over the last 10 years many people have passed through the healing centre, some finding peace before they died, others recovering and getting their lives back on track. There have been some truly amazing and heart-warming stories.
So why am I posting this here? Well, the last year or so has been a huge struggle financially and today I have been advised by the trustees that unless there is a miracle, the charity (and therefore the Centre) will be closed down at the end of November.
Maybe it has come to a natural end (although you wouldn't think so with the people still knocking on our door) but I find it incredibly sad that such a valuable resource will be lost simply because of money. Could I ask your thoughts and prayers so that, if the Centre is intended to continue, that some good financial energy comes our way soon.
Meantime I work towards ensuring that the closure is enacted with grace.
Thank you.
With love,
Amber

Aw Amber, that is a shame. I can't believe though that this is going to happen. I've just been reading the thread on the Law of Attraction and a few weeks ago bought the book Cosmic Ordering Service. SOOOOO it's my belief that you are definitely going to take delivery of one small miracle before the end of November....and to help it come your way I think you must tell all your local newspapers that the centre may close down and get the news splashed everywhere. Maybe a local newspaper would take it upon itself to mount a campaign on your behalf? Maybe there will be funds available from an as yet unknown source.....
And your fellow HPers will be cheering you on....so chin up, head high - bring it on!
With love and hope

Hi Amber
It sounds like you have all been doing terrific work in the past 10 years.
I dont feel that this is the end of it at all... Sunanda is right - tell everyone you can.
There will be some people that the centre has helped in the past & they may know someone with 'the powers that be' that can change this decision - things can happen in the strangest of ways.
Positive thoughts coming your way
RE: So sad...
I second going to your local news group and local Radio,and get the support from family/friends of those who have passed through the centres doors over those 10 years. There may be something that your local parish council can do too, get your MP involved aswell. It sounds like the centre has been a great success in those ten years and doesn't deserve to go without a fight. Do you have a Hospice locally, perhaps they will allow you to go there if there is room.
Good Luck and may the Angels be with you.
Blessings
