COMMENTS FROM YOUTH

“I have never done drugs and from watching the video about Jenny, and watching what drugs did to my friends, I never will.”

Henry L., High School

“I know there are many of us who have been touched by your story, as well as having the realities of drug experimentation made all too clear. We thank you for all you're doing.”

Thomas A., High School

“I think there are many teenagers in our (high) school that think that doing some of these hard drugs is never going to do anything to them. They're just wrong. I wanted to write to tell you, you have affected at least one person's life in a remarkable way.”

Celeste, High School

“I was recently in your ‘Jenny's Journey' assembly and it meant a lot to me. You persuaded me not to do drugs of any kind because of the serious consequences. I can live without them.”

Leon, High School

“I hope you can touch others the way you have touched me. Thank you for sharing.”

L.L., 16, Residential Treatment Center

“I believe ‘Jenny's Journey' was a big step forward in the lives of many. Openly discussing the addiction of Jenny and what happened to her opened the eyes of many of us at (middle) school.”

Martin, Middle School

“I'm only 15 and I have come close to overdosing on drugs and alcohol more times than I can count. I'm not proud of that and I hate to think about it. Jenny's story really made me realize how much I value my life. I never have before. It really makes me want to succeed in my sobriety and in life in general. P.S. I know you can touch more lives like you did mine.”

Sarah, Vista San Diego Center

“You made an impact in my life. I will never forget ‘Jenny's Journey.' The Jenny bookmark is in my AA book.”
J.A. Residential Treatment Center

COMMENTS FROM EDUCATORS

“Presentations like yours impact students because a real person is put to the problem. But more importantly, you never preached about the evils of drugs. ‘Jenny's Journey' spoke to the students about choices and the reality of those choices.”

Margaret K., Guidance Counselor, CA

“Thank you for presenting ‘Jenny's Journey' during the Drug Prevention and Demand Reduction course in San Luis Obispo (CA). Your presentation was an important introduction to the class, reminding us that we are not dealing with mere statistics or ‘someone else's problems.'”

Fran P., Parole Agent, San Diego

“I know our members will learn some of the difficult lessons which her tragic death has taught. Your dedication to presenting her message to other young people is inspiring.”

R. C., Director of Health Education
Boys and Girls Club, Milwaukee, WI

“Jenny's life was portrayed so realistically that it genuinely moved every member of the audience, and I believe left each with a renewed perspective of the dangers and effects of addiction. One of our seasoned teachers commented that (the presentation) was the most powerful she has ever seen in her career.”

Edward H., Principal. Middle School

“'Jenny's Journey is a moving story which breaks through denial and helps families to proactively work against drug addiction. I have never witnessed such a powerful story. I strongly recommend sharing this video program throughout the country.”

L.C. Center Director
San Diego Youth and Community Center

“It was a powerful presentation. It should be shared with all who love and work with children. Your emphasis in urging young people to think before making choices that may affect them the rest of their lives is our goal, too.”

Eleanor B., Student Well Being Resource Teacher

“The students were moved by your story. The frustration, pain and loss. They've shared their amazement of your courage and strength, and realize how difficult it is to talk about the dangers of drugs. It taught them the importance of intervening as soon as possible.”

C.P., Marquette University Center for Health Education.
