The Raven is HERE

09/09/2025

Hey y’all I’ve been mostly quiet when it comes to The Raven is HERE lately. Has to do with a lot of personal stuff and me just needing to take a break.

But we have some expenses coming up with website renewals, merch renewals and a few other things where we honestly need some help .

Thank you!

Following the tragic loss of our founder's brother, Eric, to fentanyl poisoning, The Raven is Here was established with the mission to prevent similar tragedies from happening to others. Our goal is to raise awareness about drug addiction, fundraise for critical initiatives, engage in community outr...

I have no idea how much Narcan we’ve handed out over the past year.

But it’s a crap ton.

Got word last night that someone we gave some to a few months ago, who in turn handed it out to someone else,

It saved a life a couple days ago.

And that’s the most awesome thing ever.

If you need some Narcan hit me up. I’ll make sure you get it.

My pastor preached last night on the loveless church. And part of the sermon was loving the unloveable and touching the untouchable.

As you can imagine I was amen-ing the heck out of her. That’s the center of what we do at the The Raven is HERE.

Later on she was talking about how love endures, it never fails. It never gives up.

And again, it hit me deep. So many times over the past few months the thought of giving up has crossed my mind.

But I can’t. I won’t. There are people out there that need to be loved. Need to be touched. Broken people. Addicted people. Lost people.

And I can’t help but think of the ones who loved me when I was unloveable. The ones who touched me when I was untouchable. The never gave up. They endured.

Who knows where I’d be if they had.

Love never fails. Period.

And because of that, neither will we.

But we need your help. Unfortunately, doing outreaches and trying to get sober living houses set up has a cost.

I'll never forget the sound of my sister screaming into the phone when she called to tell me my brother died.

Some friends lost their daughter to an overdose earlier this year. I wasn't there but in my head, I heard the scream.

Nobody should ever have to get that call. To hear that scream. To find someone they love laying there.

It's why we do what we do. It's why we're so passionate about meeting addicts in the streets, loving on them and giving them hope.

Fentanyl has killed more people in the last 5 years than all the wars combined for the last 70 years.

We're in a war to save lives.

We're in a war to try and stop those screams.

The lost.

The broken.

The addicted.

The trafficked.

The homeless.

The discouraged.

The desperate.

The ones we pass by everyday in the streets and look the other way.

The ones who don’t even know how they got to where they are.

The ones who are so far down they can’t even look up.

The ones our cities turn their nose up at because it makes their cute little town look “bad.”

The ones who want a 2nd chance.

The ones who want a 3rd, 4th or 5th chance.

The ones who are people too and just need someone to meet them where they’re at, not where you think they should be.

These are the ones that we leave the 99 to go looking for.

These are the reason we started The Raven is HERE.

These are the ones I lose sleep at night over trying to figure out all the ways to help.

These are the ones that we put boots on the ground for.

These are the ones you’re helping when you make a donation or buys some shirts.

These are the ones Jesus loves.

Help us show them that love.

We have a lot planned for The Raven is HERE over the next few months.

We're teaming up with a guy here that has the only sober living house in my county to go do an outreach event outside of Dallas in September.

We've been approached about going to Spokane, WA to do an outreach event.

We want to go to Memphis to help out with one of their holiday events.

We also want to do a Thanksgiving and Christmas events here.

It's a lot to comprehend trying to get done. Especially when the amount of funding coming in doesn't match what we want to do. Not even close.

If you want to help us reach the ones that society has kicked to the curb and considers to be *less than* this is a great way to do it.
