Meet Donna Ramelan
“With a passion for empowering mothers, Donna Ramelan leads MAAA in creating a supportive community where you can find validation and strength.”
To all the parents who have cried alone, feared that dreaded phone call, who have endured the hurtful words of family and friends, or lacked the support they needed... My heart breaks for you. You are a survivor, a warrior. I'm sorry our world has failed to embrace you when you needed it most.
It is absolutely heartbreaking to see how the negative societal stigmas surrounding substance abuse have tragically resulted in a lack of support and understanding within our very own communities when parents are most vulnerable and in need of help.
I created this space to help combat the feelings of fear, loneliness, shame and desperation. Please take care of yourself, know you are not alone and that you are incredibly important. If you can find the time, please consider joining us for one of our online workshops. It's okay to take a moment to breathe, to take a step back, and to focus on caring for yourself.
