Dear Joseph,

Nothing is more overwhelming for a family than having a child who’s struggling with addiction.

Today is your last chance to give and have your contribution create twice the impact for families in need, thanks to our generous board of directors who are matching ALL year-end gifts. With over 7 million kids struggling with a substance use disorder and our nation in the throes of a prescription drug abuse and heroin epidemic, your support is needed now more than ever.

I know just how overwhelming a child’s addiction can be for a parent because I’ve been there. When my son was struggling with substance use, his mother and I were determined to get him the help he needed but we didn’t know where to turn.

This is the gap the Partnership fills everyday by providing life-saving resources for families to tap into, strategies that are evidence-based and an entire network of parent coaches across the nation working to ensure that our loved ones get the guidance and support they need.

Addiction is one of the most challenging and isolating health issues a family can face. With the growing number of young people developing substance use disorders and dying from overdose due to the current opiate crisis, the call for more resources to help families grows louder.

We need your support TODAY. My family was fortunate; my son is in long-term recovery, working as a certified mental health counselor and a great dad. The Partnership’s programs can help more families have hope and find recovery like my son.

Join me now in making a crucial difference this holiday season by making a tax-deductible donation. Your gift will help us continue to be a lifeline for families and ensure all parents are prepared to help their loved one thrive.

Thank you for changing a life today. Have a healthy, happy and safe new year.

Sincerely,
