Our Founder's Story
Rehab2Life was founded by Vander Peter Pierre, also known as Tamara Gabriel, a recovered drug addict and alcoholic who has been sober for 22 years as of 2025. Vander’s journey inspired him to write his memoir, From Rehab to Life, which laid the foundation for the charity’s mission.
In addition to his role as Founder, Vander serves as a Trustee of the organisation. The charity’s board is composed of four Trustees who work together to guide its mission and operations.
