You can be part of this.
Sunlight of the Spirit is being built by a community of people who believe every woman deserves a real chance at recovery. Whether you donate, volunteer, partner with us, or simply share our mission — you are part of what we are building.
DONATE
The most direct way to help us open our doors.
We are currently in our fundraising phase, working toward securing a property and launching programming by end of 2027. Every dollar donated goes directly toward making that happen.
Your donation funds:
- Property acquisition and preparation
- Programming development and delivery
- Operational costs in our first year
- Outreach to women who need us
Donations to Sunlight of the Spirit are tax-deductible. We are a registered incorporated charitable organization in Ontario.

REFER SOMEONE
Know a woman who needs this?
We are not yet open — but we are getting there. If you know a woman who would benefit from a place like Sunlight of the Spirit, we encourage you to get in touch. We are building our waitlist and community now so that when we open our doors, we are ready.

SPREAD THE WORD
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is tell someone we exist.
Share our website. Talk about us at your recovery meeting. Tell your doctor, your social worker, your therapist. Post about us on social media. The women who need us most will only find us if people like you help them look.
