About us
victims of addiction
The Tolen Foundation is an unincorporated non-profit organization that helps people recover from the financial damage caused by their loved one’s addiction. We provide financial counseling, legal assistance, and other resources to help families rebuild their lives.
We understand that addiction is a family disease. It affects not only the person who is addicted but also their loved ones. Financial problems are one of the most common challenges faced by families affected by addiction. Addiction can lead to job loss, medical bills, and other financial hardships.

- Financial counseling: We can help you create a budget, manage your debt, and save for the future.
- Legal assistance: We can help you find legal assistance to file for bankruptcy, negotiate with creditors, and protect your assets.
- Resource referrals: We can connect you with other organizations that can provide financial assistance, housing, and other support services.
We are here to help you recover from the financial damage caused by addiction. Contact us today to learn more about our services.
THERE IS HOPE!
Our Value
We do more than what you think.
Our goal is to help the recovering addict as well as their loved ones recover.
Men's Sober Home
Scheduled to be open in 2024, we plan to open a Men's Sober Home in San Antonio, TX. It will be located in the Tobin Hill neighborhood close to downtown, with plenty of options for public transportation and potential jobs.
Educational Resource
Most people are unaware of all the federal and state consumer protection laws protecting them from financial disaster by another.
Banks rarely offer this information up and more often than not try to skirt by often bending if not breaking these laws holding you accountable for debt created by your loved one without your consent and/or knowledge.
Focus Support
The Tolen Foundation was founded by Xavier Rodriguez. His lover, Josh Posey died in 2017 from a Heroin Overdose, leaving a financial disaster which has taken years to overcome.
Thus we offer a safe, non judgmental and supportive environment for the recovering addict and their loved ones to recover.
Our story
Why we do this.
In the course of recovering both emotionally and financially from the loss of his partner our founder saw so many others plagued by similar financial issues. Sometimes it ended up in grandparents living on penchants losing their homes, children unable to go to college because their parents ruined their credit before they were even of age, and more.
It became clear there was a need to help the victims as well, as there is currently little to no support for the addicts families and loved ones.
Trackble
