Dear Joseph,
One of the most important jobs of our Helpline Specialists is to listen with compassion and provide support. Our specialists connect with families every day who are looking for answers, desperate to not let addiction continue to take over their lives.
Our average call with a concerned parent or caregiver is about 45 minutes long. We know substance use disorder is not a one-size-fits-all disease, so we take time to work with families and create a customized action plan based on their unique needs.
You can help us connect with even more families looking for compassionate, evidence-based support and guidance.
Make your donation today. A gift of just $100 allows us to connect to four loving parents, providing them with solutions and an action plan to help their family heal. All gifts made in the month of December will be matched, dollar for dollar, creating twice the impact.
No family should have to struggle with their loved one’s addiction alone. For some, the holidays are the “happiest time of the year,” but for others it is the most difficult.
Please make your matched gift today so we can continue to offer free resources and unparalleled support for the families we serve.
Thank you for making a difference,
Elizabeth Mustacchio
Helpline Coordinator
P.S. Looking to be tax savvy with your donation? Consider a gift of
appreciated stocks to avoid the capital gains tax, and deduct the full amount of your stock on your tax return. Or, if you’re 70 ½ or older, you can make a
tax-free donation directly from your IRA, whether or not you itemize on your tax return.
Questions on these methods of giving? Please contact Kaila Sassano, VP of Development at Kaila_Sassano@drugfree.org.
