"Our EMS number that was free is now $250 a month plus extra if we go over 5 calls.
This is a new and unexpected expense for us. This is the number we have to call to send ems to an overdose. It is no longer free for us. Our first month also has extra set up fees.
Everything we do at NUA is volunteer except for a couple of unhoused volunteers who get paid $5 a call. Our volunteers spend a lot of time and love for NUA. Please help out if you can β™‘

THREE Ways to give below πŸ‘‡

1. We've set up a crowdfunding page at https://givebutter.com/never-use-alone
If you can help financially, we appreciate it. If you cannot, please share the page so that others may be able to.

2. We have a merch store at https://merch.neverusealone.com. We get a certain amount of each sale.

3. On our Facebook page, you can "subscribe" for $5 a month. Each person that subscribes, is basically sponsoring 1 phone call a month. 1 subscription = 1 person paid to answer 1 call. With around 22k followers, if even 5% of you subscribed at 4.99 a month, that would pretty much cover it!

You can subscribe at $4.99/month, by clicking this link.

We really appreciate any help you're able to offer. We're working towards our 501c3, but in the meantime, we really need your help!

Thank you everyone!"

On #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay I’m so comforted to see a big group of people out in #DowntownGuelph to recognize that addiction is an illness and it needs to be treated the same way other illnesses are.

Addiction is not a choice and every death due to drug poisoning is a failure, a failure of policy, and a failure of our society.

@chadloder That is a great initiative and here is the link to a Canadian offering of the same type of service
