All donations will be going to the Sam Risso Foundation Inc. 

We, Liz Chelak and Anya Schwab, started this nonprofit after Sam Risso, Liz's fiance passed away. 

He dedicated the last four years of his life to helping others who suffer from addiction, homelessness, and mental health issues to start their lives over and become productive members of society.

Over the years, Sam used his own money to relocate addicts, provide medically assisted detox and housing, and assist them in their job search. He personally provided peer support in the months and years following to each individual. In the weeks leading up to his death, he expressed interest in starting a non-profit. He truly believed he would be able to help so many more people if his mission was official and he had the support of others, like you.

Your donation will go towards relocating addicts to Florida where we can personally provide peer support services, housing individuals, and providing basic necessities to help these individuals start their lives over from scratch.   

We are currently in the process of officially registering the Sam Risso Foundation, but because so many of you have expressed interest in donating we created a Go Fund Me until we are able to accept donations under the official nonprofit. 

Thank you in advance for your contribution. You have no idea how much it means to us to have your support.
