My family made a Celebration of Life Donation Page for my service. I thought it was such a beautiful gesture. I decided to include those same donation links here.
Please see the descriptions to each organization below. Once you have chosen one, click the button and follow the link to their donation page.
Shatterproof is an organization that works to develop and transform treatment procedures for addicts in recovery, while also reducing the stigma surrounding addiction. They had a hand in the passing of legislation that ensures insurance companies provide coverage for mental health and substance use disorder.
New Directions Addiction Recovery Services is an organization that provides resources for those in recovery from substance abuse disorders. They have a sober bar called The Other Side, located in Crystal Lake, IL, where those in recovery can have a safe, fun, alcohol and drug-free night out.
Enkesha is an Elephant that Steven was gifted a sponsorship for during Christmas two years ago. She was found 6 years ago with a wire snare tied tightly around her trunk. Just like Steven, her journey to recovery is lifelong, due to the severity of the injury sustained to her trunk. Despite this, she is a sweet girl who takes care of her fellow herd friends.
