Help Mustard Seed Tree raise R80,000 for Our Free Counselling App

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

What if help was only one tap away? For someone living with anxiety, depression, or trauma, the hardest step is often the first one — reaching out. Many people gather the courage to ask for help late at night, long after offices are closed. Others live in areas where travelling to a counselling session isn’t possible, or where the cost of data makes regular support feel out of reach. Too often, those people end up facing their darkest moments alone. That’s why we’re building something powerful — a counselling app that puts help directly into people’s pockets. No matter the time of day. No matter where they are. No matter what they’re going through. With your support, we can raise R80,000 to develop this app — a tool designed not just to connect people to counsellors, but also to offer practical, immediate support in the very moment they need it most. Here’s what the app will include: • Instant Connection: A direct pathway to request a counselling session with a trained counsellor, no waiting until “office hours.” • Crisis Tools: Guided breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and self-help prompts for moments of panic, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. • Resource Library: information and coping strategies, tailored to common struggles like grief, trauma, stress, or depression. • Discreet Access: For people in unsafe environments, the app will be designed with privacy in mind, so help can be reached without fear of being overheard or exposed. • Community Support: Opportunities to connect with safe, moderated peer-support groups for encouragement and shared experiences. 💡 Your impact when you donate: • A teenager battling suicidal thoughts at midnight won’t have to wait until morning — they’ll find guided exercises that calm their mind and a pathway to connect with a counsellor. • A survivor of abuse can discreetly access support without fear of someone discovering what they’re doing. • Anyone, anywhere, regardless of income or location, will be able to connect to hope instantly. This isn’t just an app. It’s a lifeline. It’s the difference between someone feeling alone and someone realising: “Help is here. I’m not forgotten.” And here’s something that makes your gift even more meaningful: your donation also gives back to you. Mustard Seed Tree is a registered Public Benefit Organisation. That means every donation qualifies for a Section 18A tax-deductible certificate. This means that not only are you helping us build an app that will change lives, but you can also claim your contribution back from SARS at tax time. A tool that gives hope to thousands. A tax benefit that gives back to you. When you donate, you’re not just funding an app. You’re helping us build a digital bridge between despair and hope. A bridge that anyone can cross, at any time, with nothing more than a single tap. Will you help us raise R80,000 to bring this app — and hope — to life?
