Local band Drop Dead Famous (DDF) will be donating all monies made when their
single “Survive Tonight” is
purchased on i-Tunes between December 18th and
January 1st, 2014 to the Canadian Mental Health Association
Windsor-Essex County Branch (CMHA-WECB).
Realizing that it is not always a “happy” holiday
season for many in our community, lead vocal of DDF, Rob Higgins says, “We want this song to remind people to look
beyond themselves this season. If you’re
one of the fortunate ones to be happy, take a minute to share it, listen, even
just offer a free smile – it could be a family member, a friend or a complete
stranger in the store next to you that is silently asking for help, for
understanding, for a simple reason to get through the next hour of their day. Our simple acts of kindness, which cost us
nothing, can mean the world to someone hurting.”
CMHA-WECB has been part of the health care delivery
system in our community for over 35 years.
When you give you know you are making a difference in the lives of many
people in our community. One more day is
a big deal to someone who wasn’t sure if they could survive another minute. (Taken

Kim Willis from CMHA-WECB
says, "The holidays can be a difficult time of year for many people,
particularly those dealing with grief. Although family and friends help, many
people seek help and support from bereavement specialists at CMHA. The proceeds
from sales of the song will go towards our bereavement program for adults and
children. This program receives minimal government funding, relying on
community support for its existence."
