Our Why: Michael’s Legacy

The Michael J Dias Foundation was founded in 2011 by the family of Michael J Dias, an energetic, talented, accomplished, loving, and selfless person who ended his suffering while battling addiction. Through loss, Michael’s loved ones recognized a need for support and HOPE for those affected by addiction. Today, Michael’s spirit lives on through positivity, education, aid, and support spread to others through our Foundation and made possible by our volunteers and donors. Our story does not end here.

  • You Are Not Alone

    Sean’s Place is a self-governing transitional sober community where men who are ready to move out of the strict sober home setting, but still need to live in a sober community and have the close support of their peers.

  • There Is Hope
