Substance abuse is a difficult struggle and a seldom discussed topic. Hope Sheds Light is an organization that strives to bring those issues to the public via their online initiative. Hope Sheds Light was started after the Rosetto family lost their son Marc to a hard-fought battle against substance abuse in 2012. The Rosetto family struggled to find help, which encouraged them to establish this outreach for those with who has lost family and friends to addiction problems. Often victims and their supporters feel isolated, ashamed, overwhelmed and hopeless, Hope Sheds Light’s website was produced to provide direction, digital guides and steps toward recovery. From support groups to community event postings, the website has become a resource where individuals and families could come for help.
