Support Long-Term Recovery

Help us build a future where recovery can last.

The house exists. What happens inside it — and whether we can do more — depends on you.

Ian Cooper was the first man to walk through the doors of Johnson Manor on April 7th. He arrived with 60 days of sobriety and nowhere else to go. Today he is the House Lead — the first face new residents see…the steady presence that helps 20 men stay on course.

“Because of this place, there are 20 guys who are now going to be able to go out and help society. If it wasn’t for this, I wouldn’t have been able to better my life, and my children’s lives. Thank you.”
—Ian Cooper, Johnson Manor House Lead.

That thank you belongs to donors like you. Read Ian’s full story.
