WORDS FROM OTHER PAL MEMBERS

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT PAL
“

We have found comfort in knowing we are not alone in this journey. We are learning to set healthy boundaries with our daughter. We now have taken on the role of cheerleaders rather than the defensive lineman on a football team; always blocking the consequences resulting from her choices.

“

I was told to get healthy, it would help my addict son.  Not knowing what healthy was, not even realizing I was sick (co-dependent), not knowing how! PAL has shown me through the love and support of other parents like myself I am worth it! And I haven’t arrived yet, but I am better, I am healthier, I am not alone.

“

I can’t thank the group leaders enough for their insight and knowledge. They have managed to bring me peace of mind by teaching me how to interact with my addicted loved one.  Since my behavior has changed, my loved one’s behavior has improved. I encourage anyone who is frustrated or ashamed to join PAL.

Wondering how you can help?

We are launching an online fundraising campaign this month to help us raise $25,000 by December 15th of this year.

In order to help new meetings get off to a great start, PAL sends out a “start-up” kit that contains important information such as: signage, facilitator guide, handouts, flyers, press release examples, videos, books, and a variety of other materials.

It costs PAL approximately $250 to get a meeting started. We’re hoping to raise $25,000 in anticipation of our continued growth. Please consider joining PAL and making a secure, tax deductible donation to PAL! Thank you for your support!
