“My life has done a 180 since I met Patton. I was going down a dark path that I couldn’t see the end of. Since then, he’s helped me with addiction, depression, and my PTSD. I wouldn’t be the same without him, I may not even have been here to write this. I owe him, the D2DT staff and volunteers everything. I’m more than grateful he and I are thriving.”
