We need your help, and what a beautiful gift to say you were a part of. We were just made aware of a family who needs help paying off their child’s headstone. The death was unexpected. We’d like to pay it off for this family for Christmas. If everyone reading this gives $10.00, we know we could do it. Anything left over will go in our Final Arrangements Fund for future requests. The money will go directly to the monument place.
If you feel led, just go our website, amararosefoundation.org, and follow the links. We are thankful for our donors’ generosity.

Bryan’s been gone for two years. He left us just like all the others did—unexpectedly and sadly. We have so many questions. Every one of us who knew and loved him remembers exactly what we were doing when we got the news, and none of us could believe it. Bryan was a light in so many lives. He loved the Lord with all his heart. He was passionate about his faith and helped many with theirs. He encouraged Mari so many times. He was there for us when she died, assuring us she was in heaven and her struggles were over.
No matter how little or how much he touched your life, please keep a bit of Bryan’s love alive and spread it to others.
Let’s honor him today—comment on what he did for or meant to you.

This foundation made all 680 of us feel like kings and queens for a few hours on Wednesday at the grant luncheon. They made us feel valued and appreciated. They made us want to work harder. What a kind and loving foundation.

We’re honored to share that we have received a grant from the Green Bay Packers Foundation! This support will help us to reach more people as we educate and raise awareness. Thank you to the Packers Foundation for investing in our community and helping us continue to make a difference. Thank you for believing in us and valuing all the hard work we’ve been doing since 2022. It means so much to all of us! Packers Outreach

We still put up her ornaments! Every year, starting when she was little, we went to pick out a new ornament for the tree. You can guess which ones she picked out when she was very young. Then there was one we had personalized at the Holiday Fair in 1997…and the Hawaiian shirt one was something she chose when she was a teenager (she didn’t like winter, either). I don’t have all of them because she took some when she moved out, and they are lost. But we are very grateful for the ones we have. If you have your loved one’s ornaments up, please post them if you’d like!

This is today, and we will be lighting a candle for our Amara at 7:00 PM. Will you do the same for the one you lost?

Fentanyl test strips cannot detect nitazenes.

Lots of controversy on this, but the experts we have spoken with, including the detective on our board, say fentanyl has been found in street ma*****na.

It can happen by using one time.

You are stronger than your addiction! Oh, can’t you see how worthy you are?

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥’𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟.✨

Her words are a reminder of the courage it takes to heal, the strength it takes to walk away, and the power of having a community that lifts you up when old patterns try to pull you back.

“This morning shook me in a way I wasn’t prepared for. I came face to face with someone I used to use with, and it brought up fear, sadness, anxiety, and a heaviness I haven’t felt in a long time. It was uncomfortable and draining… and I never want to feel that way again.

But instead of letting that moment define me, I chose myself. I removed myself from the situation, I made the call I needed to make, and I got out of there. And in that moment, I proved to myself just how far I’ve come. This was a true test of my recovery and my faith. I’m so grateful for the support system God has placed in my life, the people who answered the phone, spoke life into me, and reminded me of who I am. Today could have gone very differently without that.”

To anyone in recovery who ever finds themselves in a situation like this:

• Walk away.
• Call someone.
• Speak it out loud.
• Let the feelings be real, valid, and human.

Because they don’t make you weak, they remind you that you’re alive and choosing a new path.

“I am stronger than my addiction.
I am worthy of a clean and peaceful life.
I am not who I used to be.
I choose healing. I choose growth. I choose me.
Recovery isn’t easy, but it is worth it. And today, I won.”❤️‍🔥

We’re incredibly proud of her strength, honesty, and commitment. These are the moments that build a new life. These are the victories that matter.👏👏👏

If you’re walking your own recovery journey, keep choosing you. We’re cheering you on. 💜
