In 2018, the city of Chicago, IL gained an ally in the fight against fatal overdoses and substance use disorder in the non-profit organization, To Walk in My Shoes. Co-founded by Marnell Brown, a person in long term recovery, To Walk in My Shoes provides resources and support for those in need in the community. In addition to providing individuals with job skills training, including interview practice and how to write a resume, money management skills, and conflict resolution skills, To Walk in My Shoes also works to raise awareness about and provide testing for HIV/AIDS. Additionally, it provides Covid testing, works on violence prevention, and provides harm reduction services. The organization fosters a sense of community by hosting community gatherings like the Summer Kickoff event that brings together live music, vendors, and dancing. Additionally, members of the organization drive through neighborhood streets listening to scanners for ambulance calls for individuals who have overdosed, providing them with life-saving doses of naloxone. Members also give away naloxone to people they spot who appear to be high and might be at risk of an overdose. In just one day, To Walk in My Shoes members revived 15 people who had overdosed and in just two days, had given away 160 doses of naloxone to people in the community.
