You will not want to miss the lessons they teach us all about service, compassion and resilience. Jeremy Castro Foundation is a non-profit organization based in the Thousand Oaks region dedicated to helping families and individuals struggling with substance abuse. Because drug addiction is considered a taboo, many individuals and families hide their struggles from their communities, carrying the burden by themselves. Without open and unbiased communication about this subject, our country will not find the strength to deal with the drug overdose epidemic. Considering the importance of educating our communities about a disease that torments more than 22 million individuals in the US every day, and also the urgency to support families struggling with drug addiction, Rose and Rebecca decided to start the Jeremy Castro Foundation.
