The reason for Wings of Hope
Why we started Carson's Wings of Hope:
Carson, like countless youth and young adults today, tragically passed away after fighting anxiety, depression and substance abuse. A fentanyl laced substance took his life at age 21. He was kind and loving and had so much to offer the world. We want Carson's light to shine through to those seeking resources and financial assistance towards treatment and recovery opportunities.
