Story
Hi, I'm Samuel and this is my idea -
Meet4acoffee -A Platform for Addiction Recovery - seeking crownfunding or investment and a belief in me. Looking for a helping hand up; my story-
I was left homeless after alcohol addiction caused me to spiral out of control and almost lead to me ending my life.
Fortunately, I managed to turn my life around and I am now in the process of launching Meet4acoffee – a one-of-its kind social recovery network offering support to people suffering with addiction, all the support that I never had. Many times I wanted to reach out to people that understood me and just couldn't find out how to contact individuals or the vital services I really needed to connect with.
I have made it my recovery to bring the very first social recovery network in the form of an app, connecting people to each other on a platform that not only offers support to one -another but connects them to the vital services that are all working so hard with little government input to help people lost and desperate.
Meet4aCoffee will connect us all.
I started this from a place of homelessness on an A4 piece of paper and a borrowed pencil with a mind-set to help myself and then all the others. I found accommodation, got myself sober , 54 pieces of A4 paper later I had the basis for worldwide network, then media interest and a website was built.
I have taken the power of support and transferred it to a digital format, enabling users to get instant support at the touch of a button where ever they are in the world. This is to be a free app with the view that this is a support network and must be available for people of all financial status.
Alcohol was my first love. It gave me everything I never had, from the moment I first drank, I knew I had met my best friend in life and that we would forever be there for each other, little did I know how much pain and misery was in store through this so called friendship. Now my drive and passion to launch this platform has propelled me to achieve so much since I got clean. I am at the final stages of launching this to the world with the support of many people charging charitable rates to support the cause. I have put everything I have into this emotionally, physically and financially
£21000 is now what is needed. I have worked so hard to get to this point and have now turned to Just Giving to launch this invaluable platform to the world on google play and in the apple store. my dreams , my passion my legacy complete. My life's work to tell the world about meet4acoffee! I now NEED your help! just a simple £1 is received with so much gratitude, even just having read this far and engaged with me and my project means a lot so thank you in advance.
I truly believe Meet4acoffee will be a great success and this is the beginning of a well known and worldwide social network.
Media interest has lead to articles documenting my story, I have attached the links underneath.
