In Palm Beach County alone, 4000 beds are needed for the homeless. Approximately 85% of these indigent and homeless people are alcoholics and drug addicts. The result is, these unproductive citizens cost the county millions of tax dollars, health care, and crime that is devastating to the community. Obviously, the "human" cost factor is immeasurable.
How You Can HelpI believe there are two kinds of people in the recovery world:
The people that want to help the alcoholic and/or drug addict is Born Anew Corporation. The cost of taking these people off the streets and out of jail is overwhelming. It cost approximately $1000.00 a month to help a single person find a new way of life. The people that want to help the alcoholic and/or drug addict and has no idea how. HERE IS HOW. Start talking about Born Anew and organizations like ours. I know there are a lot of organizations like ours and most of us are doing our best to provide a safe,clean and sober home for our families. Yes, we are a family here at Born Anew. Why don't you and your friends get together and Help us help others. To the corporate world: I know that there is a lot of Red Tape when it comes to getting help from you. Do you know that every day you waste talking about helping YOUR workers that have trouble with drugs/alcohol, there is thousands and thousands of dollars payed out for health problems caused by abuse of drugs and alcohol. What about the property damage? That totaled truck, the computer, etc.. You know what I mean. Your Corporation could start helping Born Anew by giving us a small amount of $12,000 and this will help Twenty Six people come in our program in one year.That is just $461.53 to change a persons life for the rest of his life. These people will find out the feeling of recovery and recognize the meaning of the word responsibility. The people in your Corporation would be proud to be part of this project.
