This foundation is dedicated to educating the public about addiction and raising funds to help those struggling with substance abuse achieve sobriety.

You'll hear about the foundation's initiatives, like providing funding for initial weeks in rehab and making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for those in need. This episode is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's capacity to turn loss into a force for good.
If you're looking for inspiration or insight into the fight against addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
