It’s been a few months since we’ve updated our blog. This site was created in memory of our son, Harlan Christopher Squier. He had the mental disease of addiction. He battled for many years, gaining recovery only through Wilderness Programs. Wilderness programs gave him peace and serenity he could not find in the world. During his recovery, not only did he find his recovery in the wilderness, but he also later worked 8 days on 4 days off in a wilderness program and loved what the wilderness offered.

Our family has experienced addiction and the loss of life to this disease firsthand. On January 16, 2023, my husband and I abruptly lost our 27-year-old son to addiction. Our son was a brother, grandchild, nephew, and an uncle, and boyfriend who cared deeply for all his family and friends. Harlan Christopher Squier was an intelligent, handsome, and kind young man who had 6 years of sobriety before addiction took his life.

The Harlan Serenity Foundation is still in the formation process, but board members have been selected, domain names have been purchased, and the lawyers and accountants have been engaged. There’s so much to do, just to get started, but we have big dreams and huge goals! Let’s do amazing things in God’s name!
