Dear Tiffany,
I wonder what you think of when you think of the word “recovery.”
I see it every day, but I still can’t find a good definition for it.
It’s meaningful and messy… it’s rewarding and exhausting… it’s breaking out of old habits and building up new ones.
That’s one way to put it.
A better way is to tell you about Jimmie Christmas.
Jimmie came to Trinity Community Ministries in August. He was suffering from addiction and realized he needed help. He had bad habits. He didn’t have anybody - he wasn’t talking to his mom or siblings. Jimmy was alone.
When Jimmie got to Trinity House, he set goals for the future. He wanted to get back in touch with his mom. He wanted to get identification (10% of clients who come to TCM have no form of I.D.!). He wanted to get a job. He wanted to get his life back on track.
Jimmie has been at Trinity House for three months. Since he’s been here, Jimmie calls his mom EVERY WEEK. He is in a job training program. The week of this letter, Jimmie’s sister and niece surprised him on his birthday with a cake AND He received his identification in the mail!
Your generosity does more than provide housing and meals. You reunite families with their loved ones. You make it possible for men like Jimmie to get their lives back on track.
Will you give today? You’ll feel so good knowing you’re helping families like Jimmie’s reunite and find hope again. You’re empowering men to build habits of recovery and sustainability.
Need more of a reason to give? If you give TODAY, your impact will be doubled.
Thanks to generous donors, between TODAY and Giving Tuesday (December 3rd), every individual gift that we receive is doubled up to $45,000. That means YOU can help turn $45,000 into $90,000.
Here is the catch - not all of these funds are given upfront. In order to unlock the full amount, we must raise $45k during this time period.
Right now, we’re half way to the way to our goal of $45,000 - But we still need YOU to Match the Moment.
Will you take a moment and consider how you will transform lives at TCM? Will you join the Honorary Board and pledge $1,000 by the end of the year? Will you dig deep and join the Five to Thrive circle by Giving Tuesday and turn your $5,000 donation into $10,000? Will you commit to making a monthly recurring donation that sustains the work of Trinity for the men who have not yet started their recovery journey?
Thanks to people like you, Jimmie knows he has a support system during his recovery journey. He will continue to call his mom every week - even after he graduates from Trinity House. When you support TCM, you help men build new habits of hope in their recovery.
We know you have a habit of generosity. Will you give today to help more men like Jimmie?
Thank you for caring. This work cannot happen without you.
Dr. Scott Hughes
Executive Director
P.S.: Please give now to make sure that future families can have the same experience as Jimmie’s. Jimmie’s mom might not know your name, but she will never forget how you helped her son overcome his addiction.
