Kacie Erin Rumford was the beloved daughter of Andrew & Donna Rumford and sister of Alex Rumford. She wanted to change the world, but her addiction took her too soon. Created by the Rumford family in March 2013 after Kacie’s fatal Heroin overdose, Kacie’s Cause was started as a way for the family to turn tragedy into a positive in Kacie’s memory. Story >>

We offer support groups led by trained professionals and volunteers to family members battling substance use disorder with their loved ones. We also provide financial support in the form of recovery home scholarships to assist persons seeking a sober living environment after treatment.
