A London addiction recovery program that has helped over 100 people in the last two years is closing its doors at the end of the month due to a lack of funding.
Clients are now stepping in to try and keep the program going to help others who are on the path to sobriety.
“This place has saved my life,” said Lisa Reznik, who is helping to raise funds for the Salvation Army's Recovery Community Centre (RCC).
The RCC is located within the Salvation Army’s Centre of Hope which will remain running.
With a month left before the recovery community centre shuts down its program, Lisa Reznik and Raimond Blizzard are now fighting to keep it alive.
“There’s a Go Fund Me page open. Hopefully, we get the donations, and then another year of this program can be open,” Reznik said.
They’re hoping to collect $750,000 in donations which would help pay for full-time staff, counselling for clients, and other support services.
