“One in ten” can sound small until it represents someone in your classroom, your neighborhood, your church, or your own family.

The reality is that substance use, mental health struggles, abuse, and dependency impact more families than many people realize. These numbers remind us why early support matters, and why young adults need access to safe, structured environments when they are ready to take the next step.

Treatment can be the first step, but what happens after treatment matters just as much.

For many young adults, the gap comes when detox or short-term care ends and the need for safe housing, structure, and continued support begins. The Michael James Cotton
Foundation helps bridge that gap by supporting recovery environments built for stability and long-term healing.

Recovery takes more than a first step. It takes safe environments, steady support, and people willing to help make the next step possible.

The Michael James Cotton Foundation has awarded 170+ grants and vetted 46 sober living facilities to help young adults find places built for long-term recovery. To date, the foundation reports a 90% sobriety rate among those assisted.

A night full of laughter, community, and people coming together for something bigger.

The “One Heart Touching Many” Gala was such a special reminder that support can show up in many ways: through generosity, through presence, and through a shared belief in the work being done.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, played a hand, placed a bet, shared a smile, and helped make the evening one to remember. Because of your support, The Michael James Cotton Foundation has awarded over 170 Grants in 30 months. We work with over 45 sober living facilities nationwide.

Breaking the stigma starts with showing up. The Michael James Cotton Foundation works with over 45 sober living facilities nationwide, and has awarded over 170 Grants in 30 months.

It starts with listening without judgment. Creating room for honest conversations.
Reminding someone that asking for help does not make them weak.

Addiction and mental health struggles do not define a person. Support, connection, and compassion can help open the door to healing.

Healing is not something anyone should have to walk through alone. The Michael James
Cotton Foundation works with over 45 sober living facilities nationwide and has awarded over 170 Grants in 30 months.

For many young people, the difference is having someone believe in them before they fully believe in themselves.

That is the heart of this work: creating space for hope, support, and another chance forward.
Every young adult deserves that.
