'I want to give someone the chance to save themselves' - Euphonik wages war on drugs

DJ Euphonik has stepped up the offensive in the war against drugs and plans to personally help an addict get off the streets and into rehab.

Euphonik this week announced an initiative to give hope to those who are struggling with drug addiction.

"I am always looking for opportunities to do random acts of kindness and often I am led to people I can help through other people. Recently I was speaking to a guy who told me about the difficulties of getting someone into rehab so I decided to help," Euphonik explained.

He said that booking someone into rehab can cost as much as R120,000, making it difficult for someone who might need it the most.

"It is expensive for addicts or their families to get help and often poverty prevents people from getting help. So I will sponsor the entire process from them booking to rehab to their recovery afterwards," he said.

The DJ has already received over 60 letters requesting help but said that he would only chose the one he felt was the most in need.
