Overdose Awareness Campaign

Donation protected
Since I lost my son last Christmas, I have been educating myself on the opioid epidemic. I have been to Washington, DC. I have been spreading the word via networking.  I have joined a local coalition and I have planned a benefit, all of which I plan to continue. I want to post billboards in the community and get Naloxone in the hands of people that need it. My son died of a disease and the stigma needs to stop. He was sold a "fake" percocet. It was pressed and stamped just like the ones that come from a pharmacy, but it did not come from a pharmacy. It contained a lethal amount of a Fentanyl analog. This drug is made in clandestine labs and isn't detected by your most frequently used drug screen. This has taken hundreds of people in the past year in Tennessee alone. To learn more you can join the Facebook page Fentanyl Legislation Nationwide and Caleb's Song. Any help towards the cause will be used respectively and very much appreciated. The saying "It takes a community to raise a child", is the same as it takes a community save a child.
