Help Dezirae Get a Car and Become a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist Hi, my name is Dezirae, and I recently celebrated 19 months clean. Recovery has completely changed my life, and now I’m working hard to build a stable future — one where I can use my story to help others overcome addiction too. My goal is to raise $2,500 to cover the cost of: A reliable used car so I can get to work and school Right now, I’m employed part-time in fast food, doing my best to keep up with daily expenses and pay off debt from my past. Saving for school or transportation has been really tough on my own. Becoming a Peer Recovery Specialist isn’t just a career move for me — it’s a calling. Both of my parents passed away from addiction, and I’m determined to break that cycle and turn my pain into purpose. I want to help others find hope and healing, just like I did. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to independence, stability, and a future where I can give back to my community. Thank you for believing in me and supporting my journey toward recovery, education, and service. With Gratitude, Dezirae
