Like most of us, Kyle's addiction had a stronghold on him. Once he was able to surrender and found himself free from addiction he was able to start his journey in recovery.  But, he didn't do it on his own, he had help from the owners of Jenna's Promise, Mrs./Mr. Tatro. They helped him get a solid foundation under his feet and now Kyle can do the same with those who walk through Jenna's front door!  

Jenna's Promise:  "JENNA’S PROMISE IS TO HELP PEOPLE WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS Our mission is to create a network of support that will help people suffering from substance use disorder. We wish to open doors and remove the barriers for people seeking treatment, ensuring healthy and sustaining patient recovery."  If you would like to donate/learn more about Jenna's Promise, please visit https://jennaspromise.org
