The CK Daily – 20 Days of Giving: Day 9
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a great week so far. CK’s 20 Days of Giving is in full swing and I have enjoyed learning more about the organizations my fellow team members are giving to. We hope you have as well. The giving efforts I have gotten the privilege to be a part of at CablesAndKits over the past 9 years have been incredible.
I have chosen to give my CK team donation to Navigate Recovery. Over this past year, drug and alcohol overdose deaths grew over 30% in the US – and those are just the ones we know about. The pandemic, current financial situation, and day-to-day stresses have made it easier for people to fall into the trap and lies of addiction. Most of us have been affected by addiction in some way whether through a family member, friend, spouse, child, or maybe even yourself. It hurts and can be devastating to not only the person dealing with the addiction, but all of those around that individual as well. I am in that community of people affected by addiction and lost one of my best friends to it two years ago, so the work that Navigate, and other organizations like them, do is very close to my heart.
It is so important to be able to help and support organizations like Navigate Recovery that focus on not only helping the individual, but the families affected by addiction through strong community support. It takes the whole community to care for the whole community. That is what Navigate is doing through their Addiction Recovery Support Center, Peer to Peer Recovery Support Lifeline, Recovery Workplace Initiative, and Lightway Long-term Addiction Recovery Center for Women.
