my name is Ted. I have been clean from opiates since 2017. Every single day for over 8 years.
Opiates took a lot from me. My health, my nose, years of my life.
This GoFundMe started at $8,000 to $15,000 for medical reconstruction of my nose.
But as I started telling my story, my purpose changed.
What makes me feel good isn't fixing what opiates did to my face. It's knowing that if one kid in Rochester doesn't touch opiates because I told the truth about where it leads, it was worth telling.
That's why this is now a mission to work with kids.
Why $22,000 now: $8K medical, $6K transportation to schools, $8K training to work with kids.
I got myself clean in 2017. I'm not asking you to save me. I'm asking you to help me turn 8 years clean into something that keeps kids clean.
