Did you know our small 501(c)(3) nonprofits serve thousands every year, while our leadership earned a combined total of only $8,666 last year? We operate on passion, not profit, and the lives changed through our programs prove why this work matters.
We treat the whole person, and because of that approach, we see stories like these:
A man who relapsed 7 times for decades is now sober and serving as a peer counselor.
A young man who survived trauma, revived his own father with Narcan as a child, and began injecting drugs at 13 is now sober, employed, and thriving.
Both openly say our programs saved their lives.
Right now, we urgently need monthly partners ($50–$1,000) and one-time donors to continue this life-saving work. We must raise $50,000 in December and $100,000 going into 2026 to keep helping thousands find recovery, stability, and hope.
Every dollar goes directly to the cause. Your support moves people from homelessness to stability, breaks destructive cycles, and creates real, lasting change.
