We’re grateful to be featured on Spectrum TV, highlighting the life-saving work underway at Samad’s House.

Our founder Tahira Malik and Chief Ambassador Caroline Gatson shared how harm reduction services, compassion, and community-based care help women and families across Milwaukee. From naloxone access to holistic support, this work is about meeting people where they are and protecting life.

Harm reduction saves lives and continued funding is critical to keeping our communities safe.
