How many mothers have lost a son to violence or addiction or being at the wrong place at the wrong time?This mother, Tracy, Tim's mother, turned anger and despair in the loss of her son to a dedication to do something about it for other mothers and families through putting programs in place for young men in jail who stand a chance to turn things around in their lives before it's too late by going through rehab at Tim's House. Compassionate workshops for women overcoming violence and loss have also been made available and support of programs for young people learning to overcome anger and violent reactions that put them at risk of destroying their own potential if left unchecked, while there is still a chance.This is a wonderful investment for your donation. Having been involved in criminal justice and rehab, I have seen how effective these services are and that we can save the future that affects all of us by investing in and reaching out to those who are our future!
