Help Rebekah and Her Family For Christmas!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Rose and I'm fundraising for my colleague, Rebekah Cantrell. She joined our company less than a year ago to conduct peer outreach for people with drug and alcohol addiction. As someone with lived experience of recovery, Rebekah is so passionate about helping others.
Every day she is out in homeless encampments, shelters, and courts meeting people where they are at and motivating them to get their lives back. In a short amount of time Rebekah has helped so many people go from the worst conditions imaginable to happy, thriving community members. By entering treatment many people have gotten their mothers and daughter, fathers and sons back from this terrible disease of addiction.
As Rebekah spends her days helping others, she's found herself struggling too. Unfortunately, many people in recovery are still haunted by their addiction and it has the potential to drag them down.
As a single mother, Rebekah has had to build her life back up from scratch, but past events from her time in addiction linger. Rebekah faces large garnishments of her pay from traffic infraction tickets she incurred at her lowest point years ago. She never complains as she spends her days out on the streets every day helping people with their housing and food benefits but she is also struggling. With the holidays coming up, I'd love to raise some money for her to get caught up on her bills, buy her beautiful kids a present, and put up a Christmas tree.
