Help Us Bridge the Summer Gap!
During the summer months, donations slow down. But for those facing mental health and substance use challenges, the need doesn't take a vacation.
While summer brings a welcome break for many, it’s also the slowest season for charitable giving. However, at Momentum for Health, we continue to provide critical behavioral health services all year long—because recovery doesn’t follow a calendar.
Whether someone is seeking support during a mental health crisis, needing assistance with finding stable employment, or working on addressing barriers to recovery from addiction, our doors remain open, even when donations slow down. That’s why your gift this summer matters more than ever.
Scroll below the videos to read more about how your gift to the Momentum Fund helps support our programs and clients!
Your generosity today ensures we can continue to be there—every day, for everyone who needs us. Thank you for standing with us in every season.
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.
