MONROE - Green County resident Jackie Kundert is a nurse and mother who has taken her family's heartbreak and turned it into an educational foundation created to bring awareness to a growing epidemic in Wisconsin: heroin addiction. After her son's descent into drug addiction and incarceration, Kundert learned that the heroin problem is not limited to big cities. This realization and the desire to make a positive impact on her community spurred Kundert to create FAITH (Fighting Addiction: It Takes Help), an organization that educates family members and addicts about the toll heroin has taken on the community.
