There are moments in life when a person reaches rock bottom - and then makes the courageous choice to fight their way back.
After years of struggling with addiction, Evan made that choice. Today, he is three years sober, rebuilding his life, and dedicating every day to helping others do the same.
Recovery has not been easy. It has required honesty, accountability, humility, and relentless hard work. Evan now works three jobs - all centered around helping people battling addiction. As a drug counselor and mentor, he spends his days supporting individuals who are trying to achieve and maintain sobriety, often walking beside them through the darkest moments of their lives.
He has become the kind of person many never thought he could be: a dependable worker, a trusted mentor, and living proof that recovery is possible.
But despite all of the progress he has made, one overwhelming obstacle still hangs over him - $52,000 in court-ordered restitution debt from mistakes made during his years of addiction.
Evan fully accepts responsibility for his past. He is not trying to avoid paying what he owes. In fact, he works tirelessly every single day to do the right thing. But with the weight of this debt, even working three jobs barely allows him to keep his head above water.
The financial burden threatens the stability he has fought so hard to build.
We are asking for help to give Evan a true second chance - not to erase accountability, but to help lighten the crushing burden that stands between him and a sustainable future.
Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward his restitution debt and help him to continue:
Staying sober
Support others in recovery
Maintain stable housing and transportation
Complete his educational goal of becoming a licensed drug counselor
Build a life defined not by his past mistakes, but by the good he
now does every day.
If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Evan in your prayers and encouragement.
Recovery changes lives. Redemption is real. And sometimes the people who have fallen the hardest become the strongest guides for others trying to find their way out.
Thank you for believing in second chances.
