Our Supported Charities
Choosing where to donate can feel overwhelming, especially in the addiction and recovery space, where many organizations are doing important work in different ways.
To keep this simple and intentional, I’ve highlighted two charities that I believe are genuinely making a difference in breaking the cycle of addiction. They take very different approaches, yet both are focused on healing, recovery, and long-term change.
I am not affiliated with either organization. They are listed here solely because I respect their missions and the impact they are making. Whether you choose to support one, both, or neither, the decision is always yours.
Below, you’ll find a brief explanation of why I chose each organization.
Why Americans for Ibogaine
Growing up with a parent who struggled with meth addiction gave me a long, unfiltered view of addiction. I watched my mother cycle in and out of traditional rehabilitation programs for years, with no success. Seeing that pattern repeat made me question whether the standard approach works.
What I observed over time was not a lack of opportunity, but a lack of clarity. Living in a drug-driven reality can feel easier and more familiar than facing life sober, even when the consequences are devastating.
In my view, lasting recovery requires a reset—a way for the brain to step out of survival mode and begin thinking logically again. You can never force someone to quit if they don’t want to. But when someone is given the ability to think clearly, they can finally make that choice for themselves.
This is why I believe in ibogaine. Its success lies in its ability to interrupt addictive patterns and give individuals a window of mental clarity—often for the first time in years. That clarity creates the opportunity for real, informed decisions about recovery.
Americans for Ibogaine is working to support safe access, education, and research around ibogaine therapy. I believe this approach has the potential to create meaningful change.
Why I Chose Isaiah House (LBJ Eadens Access Fund)
Isaiah House represents a more traditional, faith-based approach to addiction recovery, one that has helped countless individuals find hope, structure, and purpose. I had the honor of serving as the keynote speaker at their Luminary Ball, an experience that deeply impacted me.
My speech that evening focused on my brother and his life. Addiction took him from us when he overdosed in May of 2024. Even through his own struggles, my brother never stopped helping others. He supported people fighting addiction, encouraged them, and played a role in helping many turn their lives around. His ability to give, even while hurting himself, is something I will always be proud of.
During my speech, I found myself repeatedly drawn to one woman in the audience—someone I had never met and knew nothing about. Later that evening, she and her husband took the stage and shared the story behind the LBJ Eadens Access Fund, which they created in memory of their son, who also lost his battle with addiction. As they spoke, it became clear how closely their son’s story mirrored my brother’s. The overlap was striking, the same compassion, the same desire to help others, and the same heartbreaking outcome.
Their story moved me deeply. The LBJ Eadens Access Fund exists to help remove financial barriers to ensure no one is denied essential medications for recovery and health. That mission, paired with the work Isaiah House continues to do every day, is why I believe this is a powerful and meaningful place to give.
Isaiah House offers multiple programs and paths to recovery, and I truly believe that donations made here go directly toward making a real difference in people’s lives.
