We have walls! We are so excited about rebuilding our ranch house.

We’re excited to share that the ranch is coming back together beautifully as we continue rebuilding and preparing to welcome our guys home.

As part of that effort, we’re hoping to create a bookshelf filled with meaningful reads. Books that inspire growth, healing, and reflection. If you have any self-help or addiction recovery books that have already made an impact in your life, we’d love to give them a new home where they can continue to make a difference.

And on a personal note, I’ve always had a soft spot for Louis L’Amour. His stories of grit, honor, and redemption have a way of speaking to the kind of journey our men are on. If you happen to have a few of those to spare, I’d be thrilled to see them find a place on the shelf too.

Thank you for supporting us as we rebuild spaces that help rebuild lives.

In Loving Memory

In the wake of the fire that destroyed our bunkhouse, we’ve shared that — thankfully — all of our clients made it out safely. And while that remains true, we now want to acknowledge a loss that has deeply impacted our entire community.

We lost a beloved animal companion to the flames — a quiet, loyal presence who brought comfort, laughter, and healing to everyone who called that house home.

Out of respect for the owner and the life lost, we will not be sharing names or photos. But their absence is deeply felt, and their memory is honored by all of us at Mountain Valley Recovery.

Pets are more than just responsibilities. They are family. They are protectors of peace and bringers of joy. They offer unconditional love and quiet strength in the hardest moments of healing. They sit with us in silence when words fail. They remind us, without ever speaking, that we are worthy of love.

To the one we lost: thank you for your service, your companionship, and your presence on the journey. You will always be part of this place, and your impact will never be forgotten.

On the night of June 26th, the Mountain Valley Recovery bunkhouse caught fire and burned to the ground.

Thankfully, our guys were not on site at the time. But these men in the program — who are working every day to rebuild their lives — lost everything. Their clothes, their personal belongings, and their place of refuge.
These are men who’ve made the difficult and courageous choice to change their lives. Now, they are starting over once again.

We are incredibly grateful to the local community who stepped in without hesitation, offering food, clothing, and temporary shelter. That generosity is something we will never forget.
But the road ahead is long. We’re reaching out to our broader community for help.

We need support to:
Provide a safe and stable space for these men to continue their recovery.
Begin rebuilding the bunkhouse so they have a place to rest, heal, and grow.

If you can give, share, or simply hold space for these men and their journey — it means more than we can say.
Together, we’ll rise from the dust — stronger, braver, and back in the saddle.

P.S. Donations will be processed through our sister program, White River Academy. They are also a registered non-profit, and 100% of your contribution will go directly to Mountain Valley Recovery. If you need a donation receipt for tax purposes, we’re happy to provide one.
