Have you or someone you love
been touched by ADDICTION

OpenDoor Women's Recovery Alliance was founded by three moms...

Leslie Kristoff, Rachel Muha, & Tammy Foeller brought together by the pain caused from substance use disorder. Two of us desperate for our daughters, Samantha & Stephanie to stop using drugs and one devastated by the death of her son Brian, murdered by men high on drugs.

OpenDoor Women’s Recovery Alliance is our response to the opioid epidemic that has ravaged our community.

Offering Hope, Help, and Healing to women in recovery from addiction while supporting their transition to a healthy & drug-free life.

Three moms. One vision. Many goals.

Our lives brought together by sadness, pain, heartache and now… HOPE • HELP • HEALING

Community volunteers are recruited and complete 15 hours of training, which includes trauma-informed care. Groups of 4–6 volunteers form a team, referred to as a “table,” serving as advocates, mentors, and a support system for one woman, affectionately called “our friend,” who is in recovery from substance use disorder. These teams meet for one hour a week over the course of a year, collectively providing more than 400 hours of personalized support.

Even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the lotus produces the most beautiful flower.

Socializing and spending time together is an important part of the journey.
It is here lasting friendships are made, trust is built, and women have a renewed sense of dignity, purpose and self confidence.

Vision

A serendipitous encounter in 2019 between Tammy Foeller and Second
Lady, Tina Husted sparked a friendship and collaboration ultimately
introducing OpenDoor, to the transformative model Open Table.

Transforming Women's Lives Through the Power of Generosity

Tina not only shared her expertise, she brought a spirit of encouragement
that inspired confidence and resilience. Tina facilitated critical connections, shared resources, and championed innovative ideas, enabling the OpenDoor
to flourish. Her mentorship not only helped bring the vision to life but also instilled a culture of collaboration and purpose that continues to shape its success.

Through her dedicated mentorship, Tina played a pivotal role in establishing OpenDoor.
We are forever grateful for her wisdom, kindness and guidance.

Our Mission

Our mission is to partner with women on their journey of recovery to reclaim their lives and embrace long term sobriety, fostering holistic healing and renewed purpose.

Don’t hesitate to join us. You can make an impact

READY TO JOIN OUR CAUSES

Advocating for women in recovery from substance use disorder is vital for breaking stigmas, and ensuring access to life-changing resources. Women face unique challenges in recovery, including societal pressures, trauma, and caregiving responsibilities, which often require tailored solutions.

By forming supportive friendships with women in recovery, they learn to amplify their voices, foster understanding, and create meaningful change in their lives and communities. 

When we champion their needs, we create a safe space for healing with dignity and building sustainable futures. Advocacy not only supports individual recovery journeys but also keeps families together, builds strong communities, and transforms generational addiction and poverty.
