We prepare men to reenter life with a positive step forward; with the personal skills and community connections to continue to meet individual goals and live a successful life of sobriety. In early February, the Kraft family and the Patriots Foundation hosted a virtual celebration, honoring their 2020 Patriots Difference Makers of the Week. Seventeen individuals were recognized for their tireless volunteer efforts at nonprofit organizations all across New England.
During the celebration, Barbara Gillmeister was recognized as the 2020 Patriots Difference Maker of the Year for her volunteer efforts at Gilly's House, a residential facility in Wrentham, Mass.

I look at this disease from the perspective of a parent.
I have a Master's Degree in Special Education and I work with blind and visually impaired children.

Gilly had a big smile and an even bigger heart, and those who were close to him knew of his ability to light up a room and make friends wherever he went.
He was always joking and laughing, and could make you laugh no matter what kind of day you were having.
He would make up songs to cheer you up if you were having a bad day, and would drop anything to help someone in need.
Gilly was never the type of person to do something half-way, he was determined and loved people fully and unconditionally.
He had hundreds of friends all across the world, from California to Maine to Israel, and touched the lives of countless people.

I'm glad to see so many people supporting this cause today.
I don't think there is anyone here today who would disagree with the fact that drug addiction, drug overdoses and drug overdose deaths have been skyrocketing.
No longer is this just an inner city issue.
It is in suburbia, in our communities, and in our neighborhoods.
Everyone knows someone or some family member who has been affected by the dark disease of drug addiction.
Today my son, Steven, Gilly to his friends, would have been 26 years old.
