Our Mission

At Henry’s Uncle, our mission is to end the stigma around addiction and to raise awareness about the deadly dangers of illicit fentanyl in the hopes of saving lives.

Over 20 million Americans suffer from a substance use disorder. Less than 10% of the people will ever get medical help.

For far too long, the stigma and shame around addiction keeps people with a substance use disorder in the darkness, suffering from a chronic disease that can be treated. It’s time to bring addiction out of the darkness and into the light.

Always Loved. Never Judged.

Our Story

James Kilgore, forever Henry’s Uncle, passed away and became yet another statistic of the never-ending opioid crisis plaguing our country. James’ younger brother and founder of Henry’s Uncle, Erik, found James’ lifeless body in his condo that fateful night, poisoned by a lethal amount of fentanyl. Erik was constantly yelling at his brother to wake up, even though James’ body was slumped over between his couch and coffee table. His face, black and blue. His body frigid cold. His eyes shut closed. No pulse. 

Erik was devastated that his then 8-month old son, Henry, would not be able to grow up with his Uncle, who was going to be the fun uncle.
