👀New Episode!!👀 💜Kaylee’s Dad Is Mad: Amber Saale-Burger💜
Born in Armourdale, Kansas, Amber was the first of 8 children. While her mother struggled with substance use disorder earlier in her childhood, Amber recalls she was well loved and spoiled as a child. As her mother regained and maintained her sobriety, she was a huge part of Amber's life as well as her grandchildren's lives. Meeting who would be her future husband, Max, in kindergarten, that invisible thread would reappear later on in her life with the pair coming back together. As she entered into her teenage years, Amber began experimenting with substances. By 17 years old, she was involved in gangs, drugs, and her grandmother insisted she move to another town to escape the trajectory she was on. While she was able to get sober after having her first 2 children, Amber fell back into addiction after the loss of her beloved grandmother. In 2011, Amber was sober and reconnected with Max who was deep in his addiction, and the couple soon learned they were pregnant with twins. Amber gave Max ultimatum to leave with her and move away from where they were living, or he would lose her; Max made the decision to leave with his family and started working various programs to regain control of his life. With a house full of their children and Amber's bonus daughters, Kaylee and Becca, their hearts were just as full. At the age of 14, Kaylee was introduced to opiates by her aunt. Amber and Max were furious as they navigated conversations with Kaylee about the dangers of opiates. Kaylee's biological mother struggled with substances which later intertwined with Kaylee's addiction as she spiraled out of control. In 2023, Max and Amber received a call that would devastate and change the course of their entire lives. Following the loss of their daughter to fentanyl poisoning, they were angry and seeking purpose. After losing 4 loved ones in the span of less than 18 months to overdoses, Amber wanted to wage a war on fentanyl, educate, and provide resources to those battling their own substance use disorder. In 2024, Max and Amber started the foundation, Kaylee's Dad is Mad, that has been providing resources to the community since 2023.

To Amber, Max, and the countless families who have said goodbye far, far too soon to their loved ones, we stand by you in this battle. 💜🫶🏼

Born overseas into a miliary family, Matt describes living on a miliary base as a "sheltered life." In 6th grade, he experienced the culture shock of living off the base and Matt felt "left behind" when it came time to fitting in with his new peers. As he began to search for where he belonged in this new world, he struggled to find acceptance. Matt recalls the first time he tried methamphetamine was in the school bathroom during 8th grade in middle school. At the age of 15 years old, there is one moment that would change the course of Matt's entire life. The anguish and guilt Matt carried with him following this terrible accident left him searching for a way to escape the nightmares and flashbacks. His addiction spiraled out of control as he entered the juvenile prison as a teenager convicted of vehicular homicide. Always at the forefront of his mind, he was consumed by grief and regret. Matt explains how this mistake that he made went on to impact the rest of his life. A high school education was replaced with a "criminal education" that led into adulthood. Incarceration and addiction became an endless cycle for Matt until he was given an opportunity to complete residential substance use disorder treatment. It has taken Matt more than three decades to find a way to cope, free of substances, and eventually forgive himself. Matt, we wish you the very best in your journey! 🫶🏼💙
