Serving others is a superpower. His challenge? Try it out. Donate.
Imagine being a child during the holiday season, but your parent is in a recovery center. Alexis, in her second year of sobriety and with four kids of her own, faced this scenario. When her children received an abundance of holiday gifts they couldn't use, she decided to donate them to a men’s treatment center.
However, five gifts didn’t stretch far, so Alexis reached out to her community, and soon enough, an entire wish list for the treatment center was filled. This act of kindness sparked the creation of Recovery Kidz. In this heartfelt episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike R and Glenn H chat with Alexis and Linda from Recovery Kidz.
They delve into how this non-profit organization spreads joy by providing gifts to children whose parents are in recovery centers during the holidays. Alexis and Linda share their journey, from the humble beginnings of giving away extra gifts to partnering with organizations like The Sanctuary to fulfill wish lists for kids in need. The conversation goes beyond just gift-giving.
Mike and Glenn reflect on their personal experiences with addiction and recovery, emphasizing how giving back can be a superpower that brings purpose and meaning to one's life. They highlight the importance of sobriety and recovery as invaluable gifts, especially during the festive season. Alexis and Linda discuss the various ways people can support Recovery Kidz, whether through donating toys, money, or even time.
Their passion for making a difference is infectious, and listeners are encouraged to get involved and help spread hope and joy to families affected by addiction. If you’re looking for inspiration on how to make a positive impact in your community, this episode is a must-listen. It's a reminder that even small acts of kindness can lead to significant changes and bring light into the lives of those going through tough times.
