You are cordially invited to our Inaugural Gala!

Mark's story with Lives Are Meant to Be Changed begins at a point of despair, battling a severe addiction to alcohol that had cost him his job, relationships, and self-respect. His turning point came when he stumbled upon one of our outreach programs, designed specifically for individuals struggling with substance abuse. Through personalized substance use coaching and unwavering support from our dedicated team, Mark embarked on a journey towards recovery. The program's holistic approach, focusing not just on sobriety but on rebuilding his life, provided Mark with the tools he needed to regain control. Today, Mark celebrates two years of sobriety, has re-entered the workforce, and is an active participant in our mentoring program, sharing his story to inspire others.

Edward's path intersected with "Lives Are Meant to Be Changed" at a critical moment. A long-time narcotics user, his addiction had led to multiple run-ins with the law and estrangement from his family. Edward's involvement in our Nurturing Fathers Group, coupled with our substance use coaching, marked the beginning of his profound transformation. The group provided a safe space for Edward to confront the challenges of fatherhood while battling addiction, offering him both accountability and support. Through our tailored recovery options and Edward's determination, he has not only achieved sobriety but has also rekindled relationships with his children and is now a vocal advocate for recovery in the community. Edward's journey is a testament to the power of support, perseverance, and the belief that change is always possible.
