For so many Americans, Jenna Rae Tatro’s story is all too familiar. After a visit to the emergency room in 2012, a 30 day OxyContin prescription changed the course of her life. The once joyful 20-year-old who loved horseback riding and animals became addicted and struggled with addiction for six years. Jenna lost her life to a fentanyl overdose on February 15, 2019, aged 26 years. Then Tatro and her husband, Greg, started Jenna’s Promise in their small town of Johnson, Vermont. Since 2019, dozens of women have gone through Jenna’s Promise, setting them up for a successful, sober life. “I always imagine when I see Jenna again that she’s going to be waiting up there saying, ‘Mom! You did good!’” Tatro said. “I think she’d be really proud of what we created.”
