OCAN Donates $800 for First Month's Rent for Jared Frey at Stepping Stone Recovery Home in Souderton, PA
The Opioid Crisis Action Network (OCAN), the non-profit Heather Griggs Arata and I founded three years ago, recently wrote an $800 grant for the first month's rent for Jared Frey (left), a man who has fought cancer, depression and has been sober since April and is determined to stay that way. Helping him along the path to recovery is Bob Bedford, Executive Director of the Stepping Stone Foundation (right). We plan to visit the pair and Jared's housemates at the Souderton, PA recovery home
sometime soon. Please consider making a donation
