The Good Works Award

We here at The Addicts Attic we be starting a new page and feature at our site called

The Good Works Award.

This award will be presented to those who are doing something special in the tragic world of addiction. If chosen, their story will be featured on our site for the time being and in the near future we will be working on a way to present them with a small gift as well.

If you know someone who deserves to receive the good works award , please contact me here and I will have a look at their story.

Or if you would like to donate a gift please contact me here and I will coordinate this with you.

The Good Works Award for March goes to

'A Place Called Home'.

A Place Called Home (APCH) is a dynamic youth center located in South Central Los Angeles. APCH provides at-risk youth with a secure, positive family environment where they can regain hope and belief, earn trust and self-respect and learn skills to lead to a productive lifestyle free of the gangs, drugs and poverty that surround them. We help inner city youth find their dreams through educational enrichment. APCH provides educational programs, counseling, mentoring, music, dance and art classes. We also have a recreation and athletic department. One on one attention is at the heart of all APCH programs and activities.

The very first Good Works Award goes to Richard Mansfield (aka Gypsy) and his site S-f-f-S.

The site is an NFP raising $ to give grants to parents raising kids from Meth broken homes.

A quote from the site:
"The 'S f f S' mandate is easily defined:

Should we receive a substantiated request to "HELP" aid a family raising a child suffering the turmoil of displacement from METHAMPHETAMINE RELATED CRISIS, so long as the child is in the custody of RESPONSIBLE, DRUG FREE ADULTS, WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO HELP."
