A Letter from the Co- Founders
There is an ongoing crisis in Midland and Odessa that takes the lives of over 600 people each
year and costs Midland-Odessa $1.87 billion annually1. People with the illnesses of substance
use disorder, mental illness, eating disorders, HIV, and homelessness make up 1/3 of our national
population. Each afflicted person affects their family and friends. These illnesses affect us all.
Thriving United has a goal to reach everyone suffering from these illnesses. By simply reaching 10%
of the affected population, we help save 60 lives and $187 million each year.
Thriving United offers front line help. We meet people where they are, connect them to recovery
and join them on their journey. Thriving United operates a day center, recovery residences and
offers peer support services to help participants achieve their goals. Since 2019, we have assisted
2,000 individuals and helped them achieve 105,000 days of recovery from addiction, mental health
issues or trauma.
For every $1 invested in Thriving United our community benefits by $6.70.
With your help, we will build a recovery community of excellence for the Permian Basin to help us
heal and rebuild lives. Join us!
