At Light to Light, we’re preparing to bridge a critical gap for people transitioning out of inpatient addiction treatment. With your help, together we’ll provide the tools individuals need to thrive to cross that bridge; For example: rides to recovery meetings, rent clean and sober homes, clothing, food, and NA/AA books. But this is not enough; we also hope to strengthen family members and support people who are also affected by their loved ones’ addiction. By supporting our supporters, we take a wholistic approach that heals families and communities—because we’re all interconnected, and boosting their strength increases everyone’s recovery, from the individual to the entire community.
