Micah Wall Recovery Scholarship


The AMHC Micah Wall Recovery Scholarship Fund was created to help individuals access vital recovery services. Inspired by Micah's own journey, the fund understands that overcoming addiction is a process that starts with recognizing your struggles, a desire to be sober, and acknowledging that you need help. The Micah Wall Recovery Scholarship Fund is available for those who are serious about recovery but face financial challenges. Micah's family, despite the heartbreaking loss of their son to substance use disorder, is determined to make these funds available to as many people as possible. Micah's own recovery involved steps like therapy and active participation in the recovery community, with strong support from his family. Recovery is a day-by-day and sometimes moment-to-moment journey that underscores its seriousness. Micah's hope was always that he and others who struggle with addiction would experience a lasting, hope-filled recovery. We invite you to join Micah's family in making treatment accessible to all who need it.
