Hi, I’m Sai, the founder of Pulse of Prevention, a youth-led initiative focused on substance-use prevention, addiction awareness, education, and connecting people with community resources.

I started Pulse of Prevention after seeing how difficult it can be for people and families to find prevention and recovery resources in one place. What began as a local effort has grown into a platform featuring real conversations, educational videos, digital tools, and community resources.

Last year, our prevention efforts raised approximately $5,000 to purchase prevention resources, including Narcan, naloxone, and Deterra. I personally contributed approximately $1,500 of that fundraising. We then received 200+ requests for prevention resources from people and locations in our community. Because we did not have enough funding for distribution, I personally traveled to locations to deliver resources from our inventory.

That experience showed me something important: having resources available is only part of the solution. We also need the infrastructure to get those resources to the people who need them.

We are now raising $20,000 to help expand Pulse of Prevention, strengthen our technology and outreach, and support approved resource distribution and logistics so we can reach more communities.

The demand is real. The resources are real. Now we need the capacity to reach further.
