For decades, JD Newman has been a steady hand and a guiding light in the recovery community. As a pillar of Alcoholics Anonymous, JD has helped countless people find their way back from the darkness of addiction with compassion, strength, and humility. He’s been a sponsor, a friend, and an inspiration — someone many turn to in their most vulnerable moments.

Now, JD needs our help.

At 62 years old, JD has been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a life-threatening illness that has completely changed the course of his life. For nearly two years, JD has been unable to work due to his health, with no clear return in sight. The financial burden has become overwhelming — and on top of mounting medical and daily living expenses, JD is now facing the urgent need to find a new and stable living situation.

Through it all, JD has shown the same courage and grace he’s always encouraged in others — but he can’t do this alone. This campaign is a call to the recovery community and anyone whose life JD has touched. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping JD cover basic living expenses, medical costs, and securing safe, stable housing.

JD has spent his life showing up for others. Let’s show up for him now.

Please consider donating, sharing this campaign, and keeping JD in your prayers.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
