On April 28th, 2021 Samuel Risso lost his life in a tragic ​act of senseless violence. A few weeks before his ​death, Risso expressed his interest in starting his non-​profit organization. He believed that he would be able ​to help so many more people if he had the support of ​people, like you.

Sam dedicated several years of his life to helping ​others who are struggling with substance use, ​homelessness, mental illness, or anyone who expressed ​the desire to live a better life.

Today, we can say we have fulfilled Samuels's wishes ​and have a thriving recovery community here at Risso’s ​Respite, and the best is yet to come!
