The Story

One of Our Own Needs Our Help

Right here in the Cowichan Valley, a community member is working hard to rebuild their life after a difficult period. They have the determination, the will, and the support of NeXt Chapter Recovery — but they need our community to help them take the first steps.

Without safe shelter, stability is impossible. Without food security, focus is impossible. Without reliable transportation in our rural valley, employment is nearly impossible. These three things — shelter, food, and a vehicle — are the foundation of a fresh start.

"This isn't charity. This is community. This is what the Cowichan Valley does — we show up for each other when it matters most."

— NeXt Chapter Recovery

NeXt Chapter Recovery has committed to complete financial transparency for this campaign. Every dollar donated is tracked, every disbursement is recorded, and the full report is published publicly at ncrecovery.ca/transparency . Zero fees. Zero overhead. 100% to the person who needs it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Fresh Start Fund.

How do I know 100% goes to the beneficiary?

We publish a full public transparency report at ncrecovery.ca/transparency.html showing every dollar received and every dollar spent. NeXt Chapter Recovery takes zero administrative fees from this campaign. Every disbursement is documented with receipts available on request.

How do I send an Interac e-Transfer?

Log in to your online banking, go to "Send e-Transfer", enter donate@ncrecovery.ca as the recipient, and enter your donation amount. Auto-deposit is enabled so no security question is needed. Include "Fresh Start Fund" in the message field.

Can I donate anonymously?

Absolutely. Check the "Keep my donation anonymous" box on the donation form, or include "anonymous" in the message field of your e-Transfer. Your name will never appear in any public communications.

What if the goal isn't reached?

All funds raised will still go directly to the beneficiary to cover whatever needs can be met with the amount raised. No funds are returned to NCR or retained for other purposes.

How can I help if I can't donate?

Sharing the campaign is incredibly powerful and completely free. Post on Facebook, send a text, or share on Nextdoor. You can also contact us if you have a vehicle lead, housing connection, or other resource that could directly help the beneficiary.
