I've watched so many parents bury their kids. I've raised tens of thousands of dollars to help families bury their loved ones who didn't have any life insurance or couldn't afford it, and just the thought of them even trusting me to do that still blows my mind Years Later, because Years Ago I was a person that couldn't be trusted.
What happens when personal battles with addiction turn into a mission to help others? This episode of 'Courage to Hope' brings you the compelling story of Shannon Lundin, the Director of Recovery and Community Engagement at Chapters Recovery Center. Host Tony Lagreca dives into Shannon's journey from addiction to sobriety, revealing the pivotal moments that shaped her path.

Shannon's story doesn't just end with her recovery; she has dedicated her life to helping others find their way out of the darkness of addiction.
She shares heart-wrenching experiences of watching parents bury their children due to substance abuse and her efforts in raising funds to support those who can't afford funeral expenses. Her work extends to Charlestown, where she collaborates with a trauma response team deeply rooted in the community.

Shannon also discusses her vision for a comprehensive recovery support center, aiming to be a one-stop-shop for those seeking help.
