Drug Awareness Foundation

Hello, my name is Miguel Aguilar( Mr. Aguilar to my students) and I am an 8th grade English Teacher at Los Angeles Academy Middle School. This semester, my students have focused on trying to change the world by focusing on an important issue they believe deserves an immediate solution. I am sponsoring my student Camila by helping them create this GoFundMe. I will let Camila describe their goals:

Hello, my name is Camila and my goal for this project is to keep teens away from drugs. My main goal is to help teens from doing drugs and help them with their addiction to drugs. My other goal is to do a gofundme to raise money and get them the help they need to stop doing drugs.

Greetings, we are VMAA, Victorian Mothers Against Addiction, a group seeking to fight the rising issues that result from the common drugs found within our society. As mothers we have been unfortunate enough to see addiction in many forms, from extreme to minimal, fathers and children, we have seen the damages done by drugs such as cocaine, laudanum, cannabis and opium. These drugs harm the people we love and turn them into hollow shells of the people we once cared for. VMAA is ran by the well known Adelaide Green, a woman known for her activism for anti-drug use after her losing her husband and two children to opium addiction. Her story illustrates the damage done by drugs and how our group now seeks to fight that for other mothers. This story of loss to drugs is too common among mothers, 71% of mothers within the VMAA have reported knowing a spouse or other family member that is addicted to drugs. We are raising money to go to our own recovery home, where we provide food and medical care to those wanting to rehabilitate their life. This home is managed and staffed by VMAA alone and your contribution would allow us to continue funding the supplies and salaries of those who run the home. With your contribution, we are able to provide a second chance to those who have fallen to addiction.

Help Raise Awareness and Support for Drug Addiction Treatment

I'm reaching out today to ask for your support in raising awareness and providing critical resources for those struggling with drug addiction. Throughout my life, I have lost many close friends and family members to the devastating effects of drug abuse and overdose. The pain of watching loved ones struggle with addiction has been unbearable, and it is a grief that too many people face in silence. But together, we can help make a difference.

This fundraiser is aimed at raising funds to support drug addiction treatment programs, awareness campaigns, and outreach efforts. With enough support, we can provide life-changing treatments and recovery resources to individuals in desperate need of help. Addiction doesn't discriminate, and it affects not just those who are struggling, but their families, friends, and entire communities. By donating to this cause, you’re helping to give people a chance at a better life and the opportunity to break free from the cycle of addiction.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to saving lives and providing support to those who need it most. Please join me in this important mission—let’s work together to create awareness, break the stigma, and offer hope to those who need it. Your support can make all the difference.
