About BTS and our Fundraising Goal
BTS provides substance abuse and mental health counseling to criminal justice involved individuals. BTS provides a necessary community service to a niche population found in multiple Colorado communities. Oftentimes, our clients are struggling to meet their basic needs. Many of our clients need help paying for clothes, food, or shelter while also paying for treatment, court fees, or other required costs. Our goal for Colorado Gives Day 2023 is to raise $7,500 for our client scholarship fund. The BTS client scholarship fund helps make treatment more affordable for clients. The client scholarship fund supports the BTS mission by making treatment more accessible. Founded in 2018, this incredible program has helped reduce financial burden for nearly 30 clients.

Testimonials
"I’ve spent years in court mandated therapy and I’ve never received the type of genuine care and therapy like I did with [BTS]. I received a scholarship when my life was particularly trying. I was juggling my recovery, my court, therapy responsibilities, was homeless, and working full time. The scholarship offered me relief and support I needed financially to find housing. For that, I’m forever grateful." -Jaymes
"The benefits have not only been experienced by me, but also by my family. I think other people would benefit from also having a calm state of mind. Thanks for the help, life will compensate your good heart." - Mr. Melendez
"When I was first sentenced, I was a nihilistic and drug addicted. I had zero hope after betraying and disappointing my loved ones for over a decade. Now, I can proudly say that I’m happy, healthy, and a loving father." - Former BTS Scholarship recipient
"I thank BTS because I didn't expect them to help me that much. I was very surprised, and that help made it easier focus on paying the court. It also helped me in being able to support my grandson [financially]. I wish you the best of luck and may God bless you so that you can help more people." - Former BTS Scholarship recipient
