Sober Living for Lauren

Donation protected
Hi All,

This fundraiser is for my sister Lauren. If you know one of us, you inevitably know both of us. For much of our childhood, you would find me in tow of where ever my sister was because she was always taking care of me. Whether it was taking me to summer camp with her, to a high school party, or on her date with a boy, I was forever her inseparable tag along (for better or worse). My sister was responsible for me for a lot of her own childhood due to our dad's drug addiction. As life would have it, sometimes the tables turn, and now she needs my help.

In recent years, my sister, has been battled a severe drug addiction that has now left her homeless, jobless, and recently she has lost custody of her six year old daughter. She has gotten into treatment and just completed a 30 day rehab program, and she desperately wants to complete a Sober Living care program, but she has not been able to receive a scholarship and will be discharged in the next week. This means without a Sober Living facility, she will be out on the streets. This Sober Living Program will help her get a job, continue with therapy, and help her get her life on track, and hopefully her daughter at some point. This facility has daily drug testing, and a strict curfew. These are the things she desperately needs to get better.

Drug addiction can carry a lot of stigma to many, but in my experience, addiction often affects the most tender-hearted, most loving people who also break because they don't have the coping skills in life to deal with their pain. If you have known my sister over the years, her kind and loving heart, and witty sense of humor, and want to help give her a leg up while she's down, please feel free to donate to her 30 days in Sober Living. All money is paid directly to the facility by me, nothing goes in her hand but food and support.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Kris and Lo
