Building Our Founding Team — Western Pennsylvania

Drive Someone's Recovery Forward.

Caring Companions Transportation is an early-stage nonprofit built around one simple idea: a missed ride shouldn't be the reason someone misses their treatment, their meeting, or their chance to stay in recovery. We're building our founding team now, ahead of funding, so we're ready to move the moment it lands.

Other Ways to Help

Building a nonprofit from the ground up takes more than drivers. We're looking for people who want to be part of something from the very start.

Partner outreach & community relationships
Grant writing & fundraising support
Administrative & scheduling support
Board or advisory involvement

This isn't a startup. It's a gap that needed closing.

Three reasons this work is worth showing up for.

01

Real, Immediate Impact

Every shift directly removes a barrier standing between someone and their recovery. This isn't abstract mission work — it's a ride that either happens or doesn't.

02

Built On Lived Experience

Founded by someone with real SUD treatment and counseling background, not an outside idea. The mission comes from knowing what the inside of this problem looks like.

03

Growing, Not Static

An early-stage nonprofit with a real board, real funding strategy, and real room to grow into. People who join now help shape what this becomes.

I've spent years working directly in substance use treatment. I started this because I kept seeing the same barrier over and over — people who wanted to stay in recovery, but couldn't get a ride to the place that would help them. This is my way of closing that gap.
