Easter Essentials | Adult & Teen Challenge Central Canada

This Easter, many people are struggling with addiction right here in your own community

Your kind gift today can provide critical essentials for someone’s first day of recovery

In this season of redemption and second chances, many of your neighbours are looking to find freedom from addiction.

But for some families, recovery programs cost more than they can afford.

Your special gift this Easter can provide the critical essentials their loved ones need to begin recovery.

For $71, you can give a neighbour:

A warm, safe place to get clean
Hearty and healthy food to nourish their bodies
Our trusted curriculum that will lead them to freedom!

Through your generosity, you can come alongside individuals and families dealing with addiction and remind them of the comfort they can find in Jesus’ promises.

You can provide the second chance and new life they’ve been praying for.

If you’re able to—and would like to—help this Easter, know that your gift will get to work right away supporting men and women struggling with addiction…

…And easing the burdens of their family members.

Thank you, and God bless you!

I felt like a prisoner to addiction, walking to death row. I had tried to break free many times. It started as a way to cope but became what consumed me. I lost my daughter, my family, and my health. Here, I found hope, love, life, and family. I completed the program and went on to join the SURGE leadership program. Everything I have ever been through, I now get to use for good, walking alongside others on their healing journey.

My life in addiction was chaotic. I didn’t have a sense of purpose or hope. I didn’t know what reality was anymore… I just made things up in my mind and I lived in fear. Today, I have joy, freedom and a community of support and I’m achieving goals!

On a dark path of substance use—marijuana, alcohol, and later, cocaine. My addiction escalated quickly, and I was stuck in a cycle of hopelessness and relapse. I tried to quit on my own. I’d manage to stay clean for a few months, but I’d always fall back into using. I felt trapped. At Adult & Teen Challenge, I discovered a God who loves me despite my failures, and I began to heal. Today, I’m proud to say I’m a full-time staff member at Adult & Teen Challenge, helping others who are walking the same path I once did.
“There’s hope, and it’s within reach for anyone who feels like there’s no way out.”

I struggled with drinking and partying, not realizing I needed help. My biggest challenge was being honest with my loved ones. Ready Now Recovery gave me the space to speak openly, first with the group and then with my friends and family. It showed me that I’m not alone—others are facing the same struggles.

I started smoking marijuana and doing cocaine, I quit working to grow and sell drugs. Soon after I joined a gang and survived a gang attack where my arms and legs were broken and I was stabbed multiple times. I realized many of my friends were either dead or in jail and I started thinking about my life. Since coming to Adult & Teen Challenge. My life changed so much, I’ve found Freedom thanks to God and I’m excited to help others!
