Dear Insert MPP name
As a resident of your riding, I am writing to ask for your support on behalf of Bereaved Families of Ontario – Durham Region https://bfodurham.aawsai.com/, a local, not-for-profit organization that provides peer support to individuals following the death of a loved one.
With our provincial affiliates, we have been advocating for support from Government for the past 3 years and have recently submitted a proposal (attached) for funding to be considered in the upcoming budget.
During these challenging times, the service we provide to Ontarians becomes more and more essential. We want to continue to support grieving people across the province, helping to keep them out of the health care system and maximize resources. To do that we need your support.
Please advocate for us during the budget deliberations.
Sincerely,
Your Name here 😊
Member, Bereaved Families of Ontario- Durham Region
