Harm Reduction From DWI

Imagine the serene quiet of a night, unbroken by the wail of sirens or the flash of red and blue lights. This is the vision behind the Second Chance Hope Group, where we are committed to “Harm Deduction” in driving while intoxicated (DWI) cases.

While we aren’t experts in convincing alcoholics and addicts to change their ways, our mission is clear: to cut down the number of victims affected by drunk driving. Our strategy is simple, yet powerful. By making it easy and convenient for those under the influence to avoid getting behind the wheel, we can prevent countless tragedies.

Picture this: an individual, freshly released from prison, clutching a $100 Uber Gift Card. This small, yet significant, token can be their ticket to safety. It allows them to arrange a ride home after a night of drinking, ensuring they don’t have to drive. This card is renewable, providing continuous support and reinforcing the idea that a safe ride is always within reach.

We understand that people rarely drink with the intention to drive. Often, it’s the other way around; they drive to get to their drinking spots. For repeat offenders, breaking this cycle is incredibly tough. The harsh reality is that without intervention, they often end up back in prison. This cycle not only costs taxpayers about $2,500 per month per inmate but also inflicts emotional and financial strain on their families.

Now, imagine the relief on a mother’s face, knowing her child won’t become another statistic, or the peace of mind for a community, knowing one less drunk driver is on the road. With each Uber Gift Card we distribute, we aren’t just giving away rides; we’re actively working to have Harm Reduction, in our neighborhoods.

Through the power of a free ride, we aim to uplift everyone involved. It’s more than a ride; it’s a step towards a safer, more compassionate community. Please go to the tax deductable donation tab and help with whatever you can; the life you save may be a loved one.
