Jeremy’s testimony was featured in a special promo for PAD by the NFL Player’s Coalition.

“The officers would tell me, ‘When you’re ready to get help, you can get help.’ So one day I woke up on the street and I didn’t want to struggle anymore and I didn’t wanna use anymore, I was just sick and tired of being sick and tired so I went to one of these officers and I said I’m ready.”

“It’s not like a situation where I got these people helping me. This is a situation where I got these people showing me how to help myself. PAD has found a solution, and the solution is building personal relationships with each client, meeting their needs where they're at and then offering resources. And if somebody can spend that much time and energy trying to help me, and I can tell it's heartfelt, it makes me think…if they believe in me, let me start believing in myself."
