Messages from Our Donors
If you would like, please share your motivation for contributing to our mission:
“I have family members and close friends who have or continue to struggle with substance abuse. As a Nurse Practitioner, I worked for several years with the homeless population, many of whom are in that situation because of their addiction. This looks like a great project! Congratulations!!”
“Colleen and I were colleagues but most of anything still friends for 5 years now. I have been there during her difficult times professionally and personally and tried to be best friend and give her support as much as I could. She has done the same for me as well and I will never forget that. I know how hard it was for Colleen and her family dealing with her son’s addiction daily, but one thing I realized during that time is how strong of a mother and women Colleen is. Her love for Family is unconditional and she would do anything for them. I am so happy that she has decided to start this organization, this is definitely something she will take far and most importantly I know it’s coming from a good place and heart. Love you and good luck with everything, I am always here for you!!!”
“I have much faith in the Fuchs family and their passion to help those in need. So proud of my friend and making her dream a reality.”
“We are inspired by your passion to such a worthy cause. God bless you, Bryan and your entire mission!”
“I hope all you set out to do comes true and more!! I know several young people that would have really benefited from this type of living situation.”
“I am so proud of Bryan and very excited to see all the great things you will accomplish in the future.”
“Good luck and dream big!”
“Bryan is a hero. Love him so.”
“To show our continued support and love to our Special nephew Bryan and his loving family who have lived this journey with Bryan. Watching Bryan struggle then understand his challenges and have the strength to change his life for the better resulting in a happier Bryan is our motivation. Bryan is Happy, we can see it in his smile and hear it in our conversations. On top of that, the fact that his family lead by Colleen’s desire to start this mission to assist others in our community that need help getting back on their feet toward a better life. Much success to Stages of Transformation!”
“Because I love Colleen and what she is doing!”
“Have a bipolar son who has an addictive issue…some of which have been drugs & alcohol. My son is one of the lucky ones, with a roof over his head and a very supportive family & Dr’s. Often, we think of the unfortunate ones who don’t always have that & this program is exactly what they do need. There should be more programs like this for all those who are suffering & need help!!”
