Inspiring Impactful Change

ABOUT

Making Change Possible

Founded by Alexander Kush at just 16 years old, this nonprofit began with a simple belief: no family should be denied the chance to save their loved one because of money.

Today, Lettuce Hope has evolved into a dedicated intervention fund. We partner directly with professional interventionists to ensure families in crisis have access to life-saving support. When families cannot afford the full cost of an intervention, we step in to cover the gap, turning desperation into action, and action into recovery.

At Lettuce Hope, we stand with families at the most urgent crossroads. We believe in second chances, the power of intervention, and the right of every individual to receive help before it’s too late. Together with our donors and partners, we make interventions possible, because every life is worth saving.

“Receiving the Lettuce Hope scholarship changed the course of my recovery. It's a powerful thing to be supported by an organization that truly believes in second chances. Lettuce Hope’s investment in people like me gave me the strength and the means to rebuild my life and look forward to a future filled with hope."
