Recovering addicts need more help than ever during the COVID outbreak. To get the counselling they need, the connection with support groups, the courage to maintain their recovery when they, like the rest of us, are housebound - these are enormous challenges. Help them by giving to WE CARE so that we can continue our programes to treat and rehabilitate them.

All over the world, COVID-19 has affected each and everyone of us adversely. But the impact it has on vulnerable groups, such as the elderly or those with mental health issues, is especially concerning.
Addiction takes many forms and the nature of this mental health condition is such that many recovering persons will not be able to cope, left entirely on their own.
To survive through COVID, to continue to get counselling, to remain connected through meetings, and to stay clean while cooped up at home - these present huge challenges for recovering persons.
We know everyone has parents to take care of, children and family members to look after, and juggling all this while working from home is especially trying now.
We ask you and everyone you know to come together collectively to help WE CARE so we can continue to treat and support this underserved group of people.
