Support the Journey to Healing through the Momentum Fund
Recovery doesn't look the same for everyone ... but the journey to healing is always easier with community support.
Our clients' stories remind us that healing is a journey—one filled with ups and downs, but always moving forward with the right support. Every day at Momentum for Health, we walk alongside people like Robert, Tera, and Shea, helping them navigate their unique paths to recovery. But government funding only covers a portion of the cost to run our programs, leaving a critical gap.
Your generosity to the Momentum Fund allows us to provide whole-person care: mental health and substance use treatment, housing support, employment services, and more. As we approach the end of the year, we invite you to be a part of our clients' journeys. Please consider making a one-time or monthly gift to the Momentum Fund today!
Robert's Story
When Robert first came to Momentum for Health, he was grappling with more than just the physical challenges of multiple sclerosis (MS). He was also facing the emotional toll it had taken on his life. "Before Momentum, I felt overwhelmed and discouraged," he says. "My disability was dictating my potential." But with support from his case manager and the team at our Downtown Outpatient Program, Robert began a journey that would allow him to rediscover his purpose.
Shea's Story
Six years ago, Shea was "in a world of dysfunction." As a new mom, Shea wanted to be the best she could be for her young son, but generational trauma, addiction, and chaos kept her in a pattern of turmoil that was hard to break free from. When she came to Parisi House on the Hill, a program of Momentum, Shea was able to keep her son with her throughout treatment—something she credits with making all the difference in her recovery. Today, both of them are at peace and thriving.
Tera's Story
For Tera, the road to recovery has been a non-linear journey. From a young age, Tera struggled with suicidal ideation and self-harm. Eventually, she found herself at a point of deep despair. After surviving a suicide attempt and spending years in a state hospital, Tera arrived at Momentum's Crossroads II program. "Recovery isn't a straight line," she reflects. "But with Momentum’s support, I’ve found my rhythm again." Tera is now making plans for her future—plans she never thought possible.
