It is with a very sad heart that Heartfelt house writes this update.
Last week, as many of you would be aware, the Northern Rivers was inundated with rain and flood waters, many communities were cut off physically and digitally from the rest of the world.
Sadly, the cottage that Heartfelt House moved into in July of 2021 was inundated with flood waters and the building has been condemned. Heartfelt House is homeless.
Our offices are high and dry with Northern Rivers Women and Children’s Services and together we are working hard to service the community needs at this distressing time. Right now, Heartfelt House wants to ensure that we are in the Northern Rivers community for the long haul out of this disaster, to be there for the survivors of this natural disaster, providing counselling, social workers, support and help.
Going forward Heartfelt House wants to continue to offer our group work online (as we have been during throughout COVID). But essentially, Heartfelt House needs to find another base for Heartfelt House, somewhere for our little cottage to set back up and recreate a safe and secure and beautiful place for Heartfelt House and its clients.
If you are able to, please donate to our Go Fund Me, if you are unable to, please share this amongst your networks:
