LOWELL, Mass., April 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Megan's House, a long-term residential treatment home for young women recovering from addiction, recently launched a raffle for a new home in Dracut, MA to raise funds, awareness and provide the community with the opportunity of a lifetime!
Beginning last Friday, April 7th, Megan's House began offering $100 raffle tickets for a beautiful newly-constructed, 2,000 square foot, 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath Colonial situated on a quiet, residential street in Dracut, MA. To date, more than $40,000 has been raised with a goal of $500,000 to be reached by June 14, 2017. The winning ticket will be drawn on June 21, 2017 at Four Oaks Country Club in Dracut, Massachusetts. In addition to the house raffle, numerous other items are available to win as well, including a 7 Night Stay in Costa Rica at Tres Regalos Beachfront Resort, a Roomba 980 by iRobot and a New Orleans style doll house.
Tim Grover, Megan's father and the Founder of Megan's House, purchased the building that is now Megan's House as well as four nearby lots with the hope that his daughter would always have a place to stay while recovering from addiction. Sadly, Megan lost her battle on December 30, 2014. Grover closed on the property that would become Megan's House on January 6, 2015, the same day as his daughter's funeral.
Megan's House is a comprehensive residential treatment home for young women between the ages of 18 and 26 who are struggling with addiction and other co-occurring disorders.Megan's House provides a long-term, multifaceted and holistic approach to treatment. This program includes evidenced-based services aimed at improving the quality of life and the provision of life skills for the residents. Massachusetts Lt. Governor Karyn Polito had a chance to visit Megan's House and spoke with the residents and said, "Megan's House is unique. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts needs to figure out how to create more homes like Megan's House to help individuals with long-term recovery."
"My goal was to develop the lots next door to Megan's House and sell them to help fund our treatment programs," said Grover. "We are excited to give our many supporters in the community the opportunity to participate in this raffle and win this beautiful new house, while also making a difference in the lives of these young women."
