Gilly's House, Inc.

Gilly's House, Inc. Gilly's House is a non-profit residential program for men who are struggle with addiction. GIlly loved people fully and unconditionally.

GIlly's House was established in memory of Steven Gillmeister, Gilly, who passed away from a heroin overdose October 24, 2016 at the age of 25. GIlly had a big smile and an even bigger heart, and those who were close to him knew of his ability to light up a room and make friends wherever he went. He was always joking and laughing and could make you laugh no matter what kind of day you were having. He would make up songs to cheer you up if you were having a bad day, and would drop anything to help someone in need. HE had hundreds of friends literally around the world, from California to Israel and Maine he touched the lives of countless people. Gilly began using drugs first as a social user, but later became addicted to opiates and heroin, which led to a long life of detox, recovery, rehab, sober living and relapse. Even during his struggle, Gilly was actively helping other addicts find ways to turn their lives around. He had a passion for helping others. Steven had the most success and comfort living in a sober home. With Gilly's House we hope to carry out hs legacy and continue to help those in need.

Last night was something truly special. 🫶
A huge thank you to Jeff, the manager at Jake & Joe’s in Foxboro, and to Lenny and Joanne Hensas of Wrentham for donating a beautiful, heavenly 50th birthday dinner in loving memory of their son, Lenny III. Your generosity and hearts mean more than words can say.
The men of Gilly's House came together last night in Lenny’s memory to break bread, share stories, laugh, and remember a life that continues to matter. There was warmth at the table, honesty in the conversations, and a deep sense of brotherhood in the room.
Recovery creates bonds that run deep. It’s built on showing up for one another, carrying each other through the hard days, and honoring those we’ve lost by continuing to live with purpose. Last night was a powerful reminder that none of us walk this path alone.
Thank you for helping us honor Lenny in the most meaningful way—together. 😇www.gillyshouse.com
