OUR MISSION To champion men and women to grow personally, professionally, emotionally, and spiritually, by providing solid direction in a safe, drug-free environment. We are a non-pro t community initiative speci cally designed to assist others in helping themselves escape the horrors of drug addiction, alcoholism, homelessness, and incarceration through actively engaging in the recovery process, developing empowerment skills, and instilling values, vision, and purpose with the ultimate goal of reintroducing them to society as productive citizens. Our history is one of extremely humble beginnings. It derived from the abundant gratitude of its founder, John T. Curry. John struggled mightily with substance abuse issues for well over twenty years. At the, “end of hope,” as he puts it, he found himself at a local work therapy facility. Upon attending several meetings there, he learned of the grave nature of his illness and a possible means of recovery. After successful completion of the program he wondered how he might be able to assist others who su ered the same plight. In the spring of 2003 John opened his tiny one bedroom apartment to 12 alcoholics/addicts. He often chuckles upon remembering that his newly acquainted 13 year old son, Antoine, never spent a dull moment at home. And that he had the only bedroom in the house. Soon after he moved to a two bedroom apartment and ultimately a ve bedroom home on the near East-side. Over the next ve years plus it served as a home for nearly 250 men and the occasional woman. Some stayed sober, some didn’t, but he never stopped trying to help the next alcoholic/addict who wanted freedom from their alcoholism/ addiction. In the winter of 2009 John opened his rst sober living home near the campus of Butler University. It was then known as My Brothers’ Keeper.

Within a year he opened home number two, then three, and four. Many times he would find himself exhausted from trying to help everyone with limited time and resources.
