Support this Month’s GIVE charity: Davids New Day
Addiction is something that seems to be everywhere- who among us hasn’t known someone who has lost their life or lost a loved one to this? David’s New Day is a Bucks County nonprofit organization formed in memory of David Ramsey, a father, son and brother who passed from an overdose in 2013 at the age of 30 years old. Their mission is to spread awareness and HOPE in the face of addiction and to ultimately subsidize the cost of addiction treatment and services for those who need it but can’t afford it. Since their inception in 2014, they have helped over 450 individuals in need.
Through their “closing the gap” initiative, they help to successfully transition individuals who are newly discharged from inpatient treatment by funding recovery house rent, clothing, medication costs, public transportation costs and ID renewals. They also supply individuals with their “Fresh Start” bags that contain basic necessities (toothpaste, shampoo, etc.) to ensure they have what they need to have the best chance at recovery.
