Here is what Laura has to say about Love, Matthew Recovery Homes on their Give Send Go website:

Hi, my name is Laura Maurer. I started Love, Matthew Recovey Homes shortly after my son Matthew died of a fentanyl overdose May 10, 2023. He was just 26 years old. He had a good heart but was so lost. I could tell he had a problem but, I couldn't reach him. Being in recovery myself and working at a residential treatment center as a Recovery Assistant. I saw an enormous need in our community for long term recovery homes here. Right now Indiana is in need of 20,000 beds. We are starting our Non-profit to help anyone who is afflicted with this horrible disease. Matthew, will live on through the work that we are doing and God willing, we will save lives and free them from the chains of addiction.
