Nick Bush - former Heroin Addict - Inspiring Others to Live their Best Life

‌  ‌  ‌ Nick Bush - former Heroin Addict - Inspiring Others to Live their Best Life Behind closed doors, millions of people abuse opioids. Nicholas Bush was one of them. In this beautifully raw and refreshingly honest memoir, Bush boldly allows readers into his addiction-ravaged community. We see how heroin nearly claimed his life on multiple occasions, how it stole the lives of his young siblings and friends, and how it continues to wage a deadly toll on American neighborhoods—claiming thousands of lives and decreasing the average lifespan. But we also see that there is a way off of the devastating rollercoaster of opioid addiction, even for the most afflicted. Nick fights for recovery, claws his way out of a criminal livelihood, and finds his footing with faith and family, providing Americans with the inspirational story that is deeply needed today. Nick's story is told more in depth in his book - One by One: A Memoir of Love and Loss in the Shadows of Opioid America Kindle Edition. Available on Amazon.

Last Day for Back to School Drive

Help kids in need start a new school year strong

 

 

 

LAST DAY: BACK-TO-SCHOOL DRIVE

Dear Joseph,

Just one day until tomorrow's Backpacks for Success event for children and families.  

While we received a generous outpouring of supplies for tomorrow's carnival, a fun-filled day cohosted by the Philadelphia Union, we are just shy of our Back-to-School Drive fundraising goal.

You can help ensure a child in a low-income family receives the items needed to start a brand new school year.

You can make a gift here to provide a backpack and essential school supplies for kids who might otherwise go without.

• $35 to provide a backpack filled with supplies for a child in need
• $70 to provide two backpacks for children in need
• A gift of any amount will help ensure low-income families have the items needed to begin a new school year. 

GIVE NOW

 

All of us are excited for tomorrow and sharing your expressions of love through your generous gifts.

Thank you for helping us reach our Back to School Drive finish line, and for extending bright hope to young minds! 

Gratefully,

Kwinn Tucker
