The path to addiction recovery is literally a fight for your life, one that Sue Harrison’s brother, King, lost in 2016. In their journey of grief, she co-founded King’s Crusade, a non-profit focused on eliminating the stigma that shrouds the disease of addiction. King’s Crusade provides family support and resources for people on the path to sobriety, including assistance in detox placement, transportation to treatment, and helping to defray the costs.

Across America, nearly 200 people die every day from opioid abuse. Four-in-five opioid addicts, including King, started with an injury and prescription for OxyContin that unravels their life. On average, a sober living move-in fee costs $500-600, and a ride to treatment can cost up to $150, making the decision to get clean impossible for those who need it the most. Donations to King’s Crusade are distributed on a first-need basis, and Sue also works with families to identify public funding to cover treatment. With efforts like hers, its gets better for addicts and their families.
