Mother spreads love to the homeless with 'A Hug from Matt'
Briefly

After losing her son to an overdose, Marybeth Cichocki has dedicated the last nine years to assisting the homeless, creating essential care packages under the name 'A Hug From Matt.' This initiative not only reflects her grief but also her resolve to help those in need. 'My mission is to honor my son’s memory by giving back to the community and supporting those who are less fortunate,' Cichocki stated.
In addition to providing supplies, Cichocki authored a book that shares her journey through loss and highlights the importance of addressing addiction. She believes that sharing her story can inspire others to understand the complexities of addiction and homelessness. 'It's crucial for society to open its eyes and hearts to the struggles faced by many,' she emphasized.
