Meet Jesse, a Bridge Program recipient. 💙
Through the Bridge Program, Jesse received the support he needed to transition into sober living and continue building stability, independence, and hope for the future. In this video, he shares a piece of his story and what this support has meant to him along the way.
We’re honored to walk alongside individuals like Jesse as they rebuild their lives in recovery — and grateful to our community for making stories like his possible.

Last week, we had the privilege of cheering on several past residents of our HOPE Program and Women’s Sober Living Dorm Program as they graduated from Mental Health Court!

We are so proud of their dedication and everything they've been able to achieve. Congratulations, ladies!

What an incredible morning! Pay It Forward SA is feeling so blessed! 💙

Our friends at RBFCU showed up in full force to give our men’s Sober Living Dorm a much-needed makeover. Fresh paint and so much heart went into transforming the dorm into a place that truly feels like home. Check out the before and after!

We are deeply grateful for RBFCU’s generosity, hard work, and belief in our mission! We can't wait to get started on the women's dorm!

Yesterday, the Pay It Forward team visited our wonderful friends at RBFCU!

We stopped by to see some beautiful furniture they’re generously donating to help transform our Sober Living Dorm Program spaces!

RBFCU also helped us purchase brand-new sheet sets, which will be given to individuals as they enter the program.

We’re incredibly grateful for this partnership and for RBFCU’s commitment to supporting men and women in recovery. We’re also excited to collaborate on another dorm project later this week (stay tuned to see more)!

Thank you, RBFCU, for helping us create spaces where lives can be rebuilt. 💙
