Thriving Beyond From Tragedy To Triumph

Mission

As the number of stress related addictions continues to rise, how can we aid addiction recovery, homelessness prevention, and post-traumatic stress awareness? By aiding the solution, as a percentage of proceeds of “Thriving Beyond From Tragedy to Triumph” book sales will benefit Halo, Inc, and PTS Faces in the fight against addictions, homelessness, suicide, and post-traumatic stress disorders.

This book is more than about my story. This book is about serving a cause as an ex-alcoholic, and trauma survivor and thriver people need help and better solutions.

23.5 million Americans are addicted to alcohol and drugs. (Statistics cited by drugfree.org)

Halo Inc.

HALO is so much more than a bed.

The Homeless Assistance Leadership Organization offers each person an opportunity to begin their journey from dependency towards self-sufficiency. We understand that each person that enters our shelter program comes with their own dreams, goals, and needs, and it is our goal to help them reach these goals safely.

Statement of Need

Homelessness is a very real issue for Racine County. Racine continues to have the highest unemployment rate and second highest child homelessness rate among Wisconsin cities. Last year, HALO served 700 individuals including 138 children, 58% under the age of six.

With the current rate of poverty, 55 of every 10,000 Racine County residents will experience homelessness. Since 2007, the estimated total of homeless individuals in Wisconsin has increased 8%. (Source: Institute for Community Alliances)
