Where Love Meets Action: Vincent’s Family Assistance Fund

Organization 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.

The Vincent Tambourelli Family Assistance Fund exists for that exact moment.

It is the only fund of its kind in the state of Delaware that provides direct cremation assistance to families who have lost a loved one to overdose. There are no grants. No government funding. No insurance coverage that steps in. When help arrives, it comes solely from community donations.
This fundraising is important because without it, many families would be left choosing between debt, delay, or going without the dignity their loved one deserves. This fund removes that burden so families can focus on what truly matters: grieving, honoring, and beginning to heal.
Every dollar raised becomes immediate, tangible support.
 Not someday. Not after paperwork. Right when it’s needed most.
By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping sustain a lifeline that does not exist anywhere else in Delaware. You are ensuring that no family walks through one of the hardest days of their life alone.
This is compassion in action.
 This is why it matters.
