Hi everyone,

This is James.

James is someone who has spent years showing up for other people — especially those struggling with homelessness and addiction. After battling addiction himself for decades, he’s been clean for almost three years. When he got sober, he didn’t walk away from the world. He leaned in.

James now spends his time helping others get back on their feet, offering support, encouragement, and hope to people who feel like they’ve run out of it. He even started a small nonprofit focused on helping people find purpose and stability again.

Right now, James and his wife are facing a very difficult situation. Because of circumstances outside their control, they need to leave the place they’ve been living and find a new, safe place to call home — quickly. On top of that, James recently made the hard decision to walk away from his job to protect his sobriety, which has made this transition even more challenging.

James is not someone who asks for help easily. In fact, he’s usually the one giving it.

This fundraiser is to help James and his wife cover immediate expenses, secure stable housing, and get through this transition without losing the progress he’s worked so hard to build. Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping them get back on stable ground.

If you believe in helping people who help others — and in giving someone a chance to keep moving forward — any support, share, or kind word means more than you know.

Thank you for being here and for showing up for James.
