My daughter Alyssa was only 17 years old when her life was taken by a counterfeit pill containing fentanyl.

Since losing Alyssa, I have made a promise to never stop telling her story.

I am raising funds to travel to Washington, D.C., so I can share Alyssa’s story at the Capitol and speak for families who have lost their children to this crisis.

I want lawmakers to hear what this looks like from a father who has lived through it. I want them to understand that behind every statistic is a child, a family, and a lifetime of dreams that will never happen.

This trip is about more than me. It is about Alyssa.

Every dollar raised will help cover travel, lodging, transportation, meals, and other costs related to this advocacy trip.

If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as important.

Help me take Alyssa’s voice to Washington.

She should be here telling her own story. Since she can't, I will tell it for her.
