One Story of Healing
A message from Jake Niesen, Founder of Satori House Recovery
“We would like to extend our deep appreciation for everything Start Healing Now (formerly Stop Heroin Now) has done for Satori House and its residents in recovery. SHN was critical for our recovery community to gain access to housing—a basic need everyone should have access to. Because of the generosity cultivated through SHN, individuals didn’t have to spend critical time on finding a safe environment to thrive in recovery.”
A message from Jason Fritz of the Terry Fritz Memorial Foundation, Inc
Terry was born on December 20, 1987, to two loving parents (Greg and Eileen) and a 3-½ year old brother (Jason). Just after he turned 2 years old, he had open heart surgery to repair a hole in his heart. He handled the surgery and recovery like a champ. Just before he turned 4, his younger brother was born (Gregory). During his childhood years, stops at Children’s hospital became more frequent than anyone would have cared for, and he had quite a few emergency procedures and surgeries.
