I’m fundraising for Vincente Tambourelli Family Assistance Fund, in leiu of flowers. (Face the Facts DE).

Help needed for Funeral expenses for an unexpected tragic loss of our sister. On Monday night we received a call that changed our family’s life forever, my sister was rushed to Christiana Hospital as a trauma after several hours of trying to get her medically stable but in serious condition only to have the doctors tell us that my sister had no brain activity and her organs were declining rapidly and even with all medical life support they were given she wasn’t going to make it, this was the most difficult decision to have to take our sister off all life support.   We appreciate you taking the time to read our story, and  if you can please share. Again, thank you so much. 

About Face the Facts DE

Mission: Face the Facts DE is dedicated to bridging the gap between organizations addressing addiction, recovery, and essential community needs and the individuals and families seeking their services. We exist to make help easier to find, stigma harder to hold onto, and support more accessible when it matters most. Through education, advocacy, community meetings, and direct connection to resources, Face the Facts DE brings people together in moments of crisis, recovery, and healing. Our work is rooted in compassion, honesty, and lived experience. We meet people where they are, without judgment, and walk alongside them as they navigate substance use, recovery, grief, and the everyday challenges that often accompany them. By strengthening collaboration across service providers and centering the voices of those impacted, Face the Facts DE creates a community where no one is left to face addiction or loss alone.

Our monthly community meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 PM at Redemption Treatment Center, providing a welcoming space for collaboration, education, and support for individuals and families impacted by substance use.
