How to Donate to Tejas Bluebonnet Region (tbrna.org) and What Your Donation Supports

Updated

Donations to Tejas Bluebonnet Region support the Adopt An Inmate subcommittee, which buys and ships copies of the Narcotics Anonymous "Basic Text" to incarcerated people in jails and prisons within the Region's boundaries, as well as to patients in other long-term treatment facilities. If you want to give, the site's Adopt An Inmate flyer page provides a "Make a Donation" option, and the site lists Stripe as its payment platform. The program is request-driven: the incarcerated person only needs to ask for the book to be sent.

What the Adopt An Inmate program does

The Adopt An Inmate subcommittee provides copies of the book Narcotics Anonymous, commonly referred to as the "Basic Text," to:

  • Offenders in jails and prisons within the Region's boundaries
  • Patients in other long-term treatment facilities

The process is simple on the recipient's side — the incarcerated person need only request that the book be sent. The subcommittee handles supplying the copies.

How to donate

  1. Go to the Adopt An Inmate flyer page on tbrna.org.
  2. Use the Make a Donation option linked there.
  3. Complete payment through Stripe, the payment platform listed on the site.

If you want more detail before giving — such as whether there are other ways to contribute or specific instructions tied to a particular flyer — check the site directly, since donation instructions can be updated alongside new flyer releases.

What your donation pays for

Your donation funds the purchase and distribution of Basic Text books. In practical terms, that means a donation helps cover the cost of getting a book into the hands of someone who has requested one in a jail, prison, or long-term treatment facility within the Region.

Before you donate

  • Confirm the current flyer. The site references a "New Sponsorship and Adopt an Inmate Flyers Release," so make sure you are working from the most recent version.
  • Use the linked donation path. Donations run through the "Make a Donation" option on the flyer page and are processed via Stripe.
  • Check for additional instructions. The site may post extra guidance alongside flyer updates; review the page before completing a payment.
