My Nonprofit Reviews

I was born and raised in the tight-knit community of Astoria, Queens. My parents worked tirelessly to provide for my two sisters and me. My father labored seven days a week, and my mother devoted herself to our home. While my childhood had its share of challenges, it was, for the most part, a good upbringing.
Sadly, at an early age, I turned to alcohol as a means of escape. By the tender age of 15, I had become a parent, and my life took a dark turn. I spiraled into the abyss of full-blown alcoholism, with daily drinking becoming the norm. This destructive pattern persisted for 20 long years, bringing me to the brink of despair. At that juncture, I contemplated giving up on life altogether, leaving behind my three children and two grandchildren.
Just when darkness seemed all-encompassing, a beacon of hope appeared in the form of Voodoo Misfits, Inc., a nonprofit organization. They selflessly donated over $15,000 to provide me with the essential treatment and support that I so desperately needed. Their act of kindness was unlike anything I had ever experienced in my life. It granted me a second chance, a chance I was determined not to squander.
Today, I am incredibly grateful to report that I have been 391 days sober. I've not only overcome my addiction but have also found stability through steady employment. In addition, I'm pursuing higher education and have earned a place on the president's list and in the honor society. I am actively involved in the lives of my children and grandchildren, something I couldn't have imagined during my darkest days. Most importantly, I have become the son that my parents always hoped I could be, free from the clutches of alcohol.
The transformation I've undergone is a testament to the remarkable support provided by Voodoo Misfits, Inc. Their generous donations allowed me to stand here today, stronger, more resolute, and filled with gratitude for the second chance they granted me. I'm now ready to face whatever life throws my way. Without their unwavering support, my future might have been bleak. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to Voodoo Misfits, Inc., not only for giving me a second chance but for reuniting me with my family. Thank you from the depths of my heart.
