About the foundation

Our story started with one family.

I created Leave It to Love It Foundation after losing my brother, Devon, to addiction. My family knew what it felt like to love someone deeply while constantly wondering what to say, what to do, and where to find trustworthy help.

I built this foundation so other families would have clearer next steps than we did. Our resources focus on the moments that can feel impossible to navigate—relapse, treatment decisions, difficult conversations, boundaries, and grief.

Our story began with one family, but this work is for every family affected by addiction. Founded by Felice Leavitt, the foundation combines lived experience with credible public-health information to create clear, accessible educational resources. Our resources do not replace individualized professional care.
