REMINDER 🎉

We're Having A Gibson J-45 Giveaway in Honor of 200 Recovery Housing Scholarships 💚🎸

Together, we've reached an incredible milestone: more than 200 recovery housing scholarships provided across Appalachia, helping individuals access safe, supportive recovery housing as they build a foundation for long-term recovery.

To celebrate this achievement, we're excited to partner with Gibson Gives for a special Giving Appalachia Monthly Giving Club giveaway.

One Giving Appalachia Monthly Giving Club member will be selected to receive a Gibson J-45 Acoustic Guitar.

All current Giving Appalachia Monthly Giving Club members, as well as anyone who signs up between now and July 15, will be automatically entered to win.

Every recovery housing scholarship helps remove the financial barrier to access to safe, supportive housing when they need it most. Thanks to supporters like you, more than 200 people across Appalachia have received that opportunity.

Thank you for helping make these scholarships possible, and thank you to Gibson Gives for helping us celebrate this incredible milestone and the lives being changed through your generosity. 💚

From Homeless Shelter to Eastern Kentucky University

Zachary Doty came to the Garrard County Homeless Shelter in March, carrying little more than hope and a determination to change the course of his life.

Like many people facing homelessness, he was navigating uncertainty while searching for an opportunity to build a better future.

In April, Zachary passed his GED and graduated high school.

A few weeks later he put in his application to attend Eastern Kentucky University's Summer Program. He received his Letter of Acceptance. His goal is to one day be a Marine Biologist which was a childhood dream.

Zachary has deepened his belief in God while at the Homeless Shelter, giving testimony and joining in daily devotions and praying for his friends, family and the shelter.

Zachary officially began his college career at Eastern Kentucky University on June 30th. We are excited to follow his journey and celebrate each milestone as he continues working toward his dream of becoming a Marine Biologist.

Zachary's story is a reminder that hope, faith, perseverance, and the support of a caring community can help transform lives. We are proud of all he has accomplished and look forward to seeing what the future holds for him.
