Meet the founder: Levi Spears Sr.

Centipede Peer To Peer was born from my own journey — the struggles I’ve lived through, the people who helped me when I had nothing, and the moments when I had to rebuild myself from the ground up. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, to feel stuck, to battle addiction, mental-health challenges, or homelessness, and to feel like the world has given up on you. I also know what it feels like when even one person shows up, listens, and believes in you. That kind of support can change everything. I started Centipede Peer To Peer because I wanted to create the kind of help I wish more people had: real support from real people who understand — not because they read it in a book, but because they lived it. My journey taught me that people don’t need perfection. They need presence. They need someone who won’t judge them, rush them, or talk down to them. Someone who sees their potential even when they can’t see it themselves. That belief fuels everything we do here.

Centipede Peer To Peer was created with one purpose: to change lives through connection, compassion, and consistent support. Our hope is to make a real, lasting impact in two places — in the lives of the people we help and in the community as a whole. We help people feel seen, heard, and valued, knowing that many we meet feel invisible or forgotten. We guide individuals toward stability and hope, whether they are struggling with addiction, mental-health challenges, homelessness, or trauma, by supporting them in taking the next step, no matter how small. We actively break cycles of isolation, fostering connection, community, and a sense of belonging. Ultimately, we support recovery and life rebuilding, helping people find resources, build coping skills, and reclaim their lives.
