Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I hope you'll consider donating to support the Partnership and help families find support, guidance, and hope. I came to the Partnership because, coming from the education field, I resonated with the idea that if parents and families are left out of the equation, positive change rarely happens. In the case of substance use and addiction, it has become increasingly apparent how true that sentiment is. Several of my friends and loved ones have struggled with addiction and I have seen how hard it can be for the person struggling, but it is easy to forget the impact this has on the family. In my short time at the Partnership, I've had the pleasure of meeting such inspiring parents and families who give so much of their free time to help others. There are not enough resources and support for families and we want to change that. The families and communities that we support deserve to know that they are not alone and that there is hope out there. I want to raise money so we can continue developing programs and resources that help caring, selfless families. This Giving Tuesday, all money raised by Partnership staff will go directly to supporting our one-on-one support programs, like parent coaching (where we train parents who have dealt with this issue to coach parents currently struggling with their child's substance use).
