Helping a friend
Donation protected
Dear friends and loved ones:
Addiction is a topic that has affected us all in one way or another. None of us are truly immune to power it can have over us. Breaking the negative cycle of addiction takes enormous effort. Having the support and encouragement of friends can have the potential to transform what appears an impossible task into something achievable.
We are currently raising funds to help relieve our friend of some of the challenges of daily life in order to allow him time to focus solely on his recovery. Of course this is a lifelong journey, but we want to help him take the first steps down this path.
Our friend has already made extraordinary strides in improving his life: For the next 30 days he will seek solace at The Retreat (https://www.theretreat.org/) a rehab center in Minnesota. Because 30 days is often not enough to sustain recovery, he will be encouraged to stay for at least an additional month at the Retreat, followed by, if possible, some time spent in sober housing.
Seeking this professional treatment also means putting his life on hold temporarily. When he returns he will need to find a new job and apartment. We are current seeking funds to help alleviate the financial costs of rehab and the costs of starting over once his stay is complete.
If it is possible for you, please consider donating. Small amounts add up and can make a huge difference!
Thank you so much for your support!
-1 month at the Retreat = $4900 minus $500 scholarship = $4400
-each additional month at the Retreat = $4100 minus potential scholarship
-sober housing = $550 to $825 per month
-additional expenses upon return, including rent/deposit, bills, food, etc.
