Broken Wings Ministry is dedicated to Tammy's (founder of Broken Wings) brother Jimbo who died on Christmas Eve 2014 from a heroin overdose. He suffered from Opiod / mental health issues. He was a victim of the national opioid crisis in America and did not receive the help he needed. Broken Wings want to restore lives to people who are broken by addiction and mental health / trauma. We offer services in the Orlando area with emphasis on women and children suffering from opiod addiction/ substance abuse and other mental health challenges. Curently we provide services including outpatient office based therapy, animal and garden therapy. Once our residential home is purchased, clients can come and heal in a safe holistic environment (body, mind and spirit). Therapeutic interventions will aim to get at the root cause of addiction/ mental health and seek healing from triggers with effective interventions to avoid relapse. Interventions include: animal therapy, garden therapy, EMDR, talk therapy, group therapy, therapeutic massage, spirituality, develooping life skills, nutrition education and a twelve step program with family involvement. Then, after a client graduates from our program we want to follow them for life. We believe that recovery is a life long process and want to stand by our alumni. Therefore, Broken Wings will offer lifelong alumni outpatient counseling services to clients for support to prevent relapse.

The Center for Community Alternatives (CCA), founded in 1981, is a leader in community-based alternatives to incarceration and policy advocacy to reduce reliance on incarceration. We provide direct services to communities in New York City, Syracuse and Rochester, engaging approximately 2,500 youth and adults annually who would otherwise be incarcerated. The great majority of our participants are African-American or Latino/a and come from poor or low-income communities. In addition to direct services, CCA works to bring about a more just and humane criminal justice system. We have achieved success in persuading the State Legislature to adopt "reintegration" as a goal of sentencing; in reforming New York's drug laws; and in realigning New York's juvenile justice system so that more youth are placed in programs in their home communities, rather than detention or incarceration. We are currently leading a national campaign to reduce barriers to college admission for people with criminal records. In an average year, CCA successfully diverts 100 adults and as many juveniles from costly incarceration, saving New York State millions of dollars. Our work reduces the collateral consequences of incarceration, strengthens families and builds safer communities. CCA serves people in trouble: youth at risk; families in crisis; people struggling to address drug and alcohol problems and HIV and AIDS; and people who have been involved in the criminal justice system who are seeking community reintegration and productive, law-abiding lives. CCA endeavors to address these issues by emphasizing personal empowerment, self-respect and concern for one's community.

In the spirit of volunteerism and community partnership, Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago improves the homes and neighborhoods of elderly, disabled and low-income residents so that they may continue to live in warmth, safety and comfort. Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago was founded to improve the declining housing stock of homeowners in Chicago and Cook County. We serve existing homeowners, who, due to financial or physical limitations, have been unable to maintain their homes. Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago was formed in 1991 as an affiliate of the national organization, Rebuilding Together. Since then, Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago has partnered with over 600 sponsors to keep homeowners living in warmth, safety and independence. To date we have repaired over 1,600 homes and 200 nonprofit facilities in partnership with communities, corporations, trade unions, and civic groups. Our work is performed by an all-volunteer labor force, enabling us to provide repair services at no cost to our clients. In addition to physical improvements, we provide personal contact, increased understanding, and an opportunity to overcome socio-economic stereotypes. We have found that our efforts often act as a catalyst for additional neighborhood improvements. How We Are Unique Meet Basic Needs & Serve the Underserved: Our programs allow clients to use their limited budget for basic essentials like food and medication, rather than costly home repairs. We do not require sweat equity and never charge for our services. Holistic Approach: We address the needs of each home and its occupants, with a focus on health and safety. Exceptional Business Model: Every $1 we receive turns into $3.25 worth of services to residents in low-income neighborhoods-- resulting in $2 million in community reinvestment every year. We offer opportunities for volunteers to make a real difference in the community & meet people from all walks of life.

Our mission is to protect an addict's right to treatment and, with the support of our partners, provide scholarship treatment to those without resources seeking help for addiction. Our goal is to identify and award 10,000 scholarship treatment beds by 2020. We will do this by partnering with quality treatment centers throughout the nation who sponsor one or more treatment beds each year. We currently have more than 200 treatment program partners nationwide. The idea for 10,000 Beds was conceived by our founder Jean Krisle in late 2014. The idea was the result of conversations with many needing help who had no resources and site visits to treatment centers with empty beds. Our unique model of contacting treatment programs directly for the donation of scholarship beds was created as a credible option to raising millions of dollars. It is applauded throughout the addiction industry. We ask our partners to commit to one bed per year (we consider "one bed" to be a typical treatment program offered by each respective treatment center, with a minimum requirement of 30 days. Many of our partners have generously offered more than one bed per year. There is only one way to apply for a 10,000 Beds scholarship application. Potential clients visit the scholarship page on our website and submit answers to the more than 20 questions. Applications must be complete and honest. Three sets of eyes will review every application: our founder, our volunteer psych evaluator, and a member of our board of directors. Once this process is complete, we reach out to let the applicant know the status of their application and either move forward with reaching out to one of our treatment program partners, or offer more appropriate options for each individual situation. Awarded our nonprofit 501c3 status in April 2015 and officially launched in September 2015, with our first scholarship placement in December 2015, 10,000 Beds, Inc. has placed more than one million dollars ($1,000,000) in treatment scholarships in 2016.
