Trevor Kelley

Reunification story

My name is Trevor Kelley, and my daughter’s name is Joleen Kelley.

After 20 years of addiction—facing overdoses, alcohol poisoning, time in and out of jail, military prison, the psych ward, and two inpatient rehab stays - I finally surrendered and committed to change. I joined Faithful Servants, where I am now a board member. Today, I have my own apartment, a car, a job, and I attend intensive mental health therapy every week.

I have passed all my UAs for CPS, treatment, DOC, Hope Court, and offender services. My CPS case will be closed in June, I graduate outpatient next month, and I’ll complete Hope Court soon after. I’m now off DOC supervision in two states, done with offender services, and have resolved six warrants across four counties. I’ve also paid off fines and fees in three states and completed four parenting classes.

My youngest daughter is home, and I’m working toward reconnecting with my other two daughters. I also have a son on the way.

Every day, I stay committed to my recovery - through daily devotions, recovery literature, church, Celebrate Recovery (where I’ve completed my first 12 steps), Narcotics Anonymous (where I’m working through my first set of steps), and programs like Adult Children of Alcoholics, Dysfunction, and Wellbriety.

Ultimately, it is God - His guidance, the people He has placed in my life, and the strength He gives me - that keeps me moving forward. I am focused on becoming the best version of myself for my kids, for those around me, and for the life He has given me.
