Maripier Morin has been sober for almost 18 months now. During an anonymous meeting, she met Angelo Rubino. After a long discussion where they shared their experiences related to addiction and recovery, they had the idea of ​​joining forces. Their objective is to destigmatize addiction in Quebec and to raise funds for organizations that help people who suffer from it.
For Maripier, the Grains of Hope project is a glimpse of light. She wants to open the discussion and create a ripple effect that could encourage many people to take charge of their addiction problem. Its goal is not to demonize addiction, but rather to send the message that the problem is omnipresent and that there are solutions. She also wants to share her experience to show that her problem is not unique and that it's okay to ask for help. A person who suffers often finds himself in isolation and this only makes the situation worse for him.
With the Grains d'espoir project, Maripier wants to make a real difference for people who are suffering. Watch his testimonial to learn more about his journey, his vision and his goals.
Angelo Rubino has now been sober for 3 and a half years. After meeting Maripier in an anonymous meeting, they decided to collaborate together for a good cause, addiction. The idea for the café project came by chance during the recording of Angelo's podcast with Anne-Sophie Brossard, of Café Brossard.
Anne-Sophie is a high school friend of Angelo's and so the association seemed ideal. This is where the steps continued and the collaboration between Maripier and Angelo moved to another stage.
For Angelo, recovery is an important part of his life that allowed him to reconnect with values ​​that were important to him. Now he enjoys getting involved with others to assist them in their own recovery process. For him, helping others is an integral part of his personal recovery process.
The Seeds of Hope project is a natural continuation of his recovery process and he is very proud to have the opportunity to help more people through this project.
