About Us
Mimi Rothman
My name is Mimi Rothman; I have started a foundation to help our kids overcome drug and alcohol abuse. Fresh Start for Our Youth Foundation is being formed to give children in our communities a brighter future. I have personally witnessed the great harm these addictions can have on young people and their families including violence, mental health problems, financial strain, despair and suicide. With four children of my own ranging in ages 10 to 21, I understand the stress in raising kids to lead healthy and productive lives. Without help and support from outside sources there exists a vicious circle of confusion within the family unit to overcome the problem so I decided to take action and help those in need. FSFOY will provide direction and financial support for those who cannot afford it. The futures we provide our kids are what we as adults are responsible for and in that frame of mind I started this foundation.

2009 - President for the Fresh Start For Our Youth Foundation.

Emily Brecklin
My name is Emily Brecklin, over the years I have worked with a variety of people from different walks of life. I have seen first hand how emotional neglect and abuse, physical neglect and abuse as well as drug and alcohol abuse can effect children, young adults, as well as families as a whole and how much these issues are connected to one another. Addictions have no preference; wealthy or under privileged it exists. Therefore, I am honored to be a part of Fresh Start For Our Youth Foundation to have an opportunity to help those in need whenever possible and to help break the cycle.

However, I have seen the turmoil that can happen to families when unforeseen events happen like divorce, substance abuse, alcohol abuse and death. I have witnessed families destroyed because of these tragedies and am happy to contribute in any way to help this foundation help those in need.
