Mental health advocate and I AM HOPE founder Mike King
says New Zealanders need to pitch in a second Gumboot Friday
this year, to raise adequate funds for young people’s free
counselling in New Zealand.
Due to Gumboot Friday’s
incredible growth, the $943,000 raised in this year’s
Gumboot Friday campaign will only last for three months of
counselling services paid for by the charity.
Mike
King says while he’s grateful to every New Zealander that
played their part, he is worried for the future of young
people who need help, when these funds run out.
