Ruthie Trammel's Champions for Compassion exists to carry on the legacy of Ruthie Trammel by: You would be surprised to find that some people are hindered in their recovery simply because they cannot make it to treatment. RTC4C wants to remove the barrier of transportation by providing bus passes and bicycles for  the primary purpose of staying engaged in recovery and maintaining employment. Awareness is the first step to a compassionate, informed response to the needs of people who are in the process of recovery or living with mental challenges. We would like to continue building bridges and facilitate conversations between mental health specialists and other professions within our community. We aim to slow the revolving doors to our hospitals and jails and open the doors to our local churches. We support the continuing education of people on the front lines of mental health and substance abuse recovery. Ruthie was a big fan of Dialectial Behavior Therapy. We hope to make seminars and learning opportunities available to more people in our communities who are providing direct services to people who are in the process of overcoming dependency on substances and mental health challenges. As we remove the obstacles of shame and transportation and cultivate a community that is prepared to celebrate the progress of those in recovery, we restore hope for individuals in the throes of addiction. 

Our main purpose is to educate our families about the hazards of heroin and other drug abuse, so we guide our children to take a path, which is free of devastation, incarceration and death; to help those who may be struggling with addiction, to lift them to a place of recovery and peace. This will only be accomplished by working together with our government leaders, the media, social networking sites, and utilizing all available resources. We can be a role model for others in our country to follow, as we stand united, as a community, to say……Not One More overdose.Not One More lost spirit.Not one more grieving heart.
