Support Kyle's Journey of Recovery: Bring Him Home.

Dear friends, family and kind strangers,

I never imagined that I would find myself in this position, but my family is facing a heartbreaking challenge, and we need your help. My husband, who has always been an incredible father and partner, has been losing the fight with addiction. What started out as pain management for a debilitating degenerative condition, has turned into something that he's unable to control. It has affected every aspect of our lives, but what has been most heartbreaking is seeing our 5 beautiful children watch as their father has become someone unrecognizable. They miss their happy, present Daddy. And I miss my best friend. The love of my life.

Our lives have been turned upside down while Kyle has been waiting (for over 3 months) for a bed in a recovery center. For our safety and sanity, I had to put boundaries in place. I hoped that it would encourage change, and thought he'd start taking steps to come back home. That wasn't the case. Instead he distanced himself and fully embraced his addictions; spiraling out of control. I wasn't sure if he would actually go into recovery even if they offered a bed, but my prayers were answered and he entered treatment last week. I feel so much better knowing he's safe and getting help. But then I'm hit with the reality of our expenses while we have no income from him. He will be in treatment for a minimum of 3 months, maximum 9 months. I would love nothing more than to remove the financial burdens off of his mind so he can put all of his focus into getting healthy. My youngest is only two and I am trying to be as present as possible for my kids through this trying time, while still contributing financially. Your donations will be used to help with our bills and essentials, and the therapy and after-programs that will support us as we work towards healing as a family.

I am so incredibly grateful to those that have reached out as I've shared our story. I will never stop fighting for my family. I will never give up on Kyle. Asking for help is difficult for me, but I'm putting my own pride aside because I know that the more help we receive, the more he can focus on healing and coming home. Thank you so much!
