St Andrew’s-Wesley has made a three year commitment to provide rent support of $6,000.00 per year for one mentally ill person to transition from dependent living to living on his/her own. Help us meet this goal by making a donation. No donation is too small. All donation are forwarded to Coast Mental Health who provide professional support to mentally ill people make the transition.

St Andrew’s-Wesley is pleased to announce that it has raised $12,000.00 to support one person for two years. We are now raising funds for the third year of support for the same person. As a rule a mentally ill person requires support for about three years to make the transition to independent living. This time is required for some retraining,finding employment and earning enough to support themselves.
