Logan's Story

Hello,

Publication has been set for the first week of April.

Myname is Doug Ballinger, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request. I have written a book, "Logan’s Story", about my son Logan—his vibrant life, his struggle with addiction, and the devastating loss we faced when he died from fentanyl poisoning in May 2020. It is a story of love, grief, and resilience—a father's journey to honor his son and turn heartbreak into advocacy.

Why This Book Matters

Logan’s Story is more than a memoir; it’s a mission. The opioid crisis and fentanyl poisoning are claiming countless lives, leaving families shattered. Through this book, I aim to shed light on Logan’s journey, humanize the struggles of addiction, and confront the stigma that prevents so many from seeking help. My hope is that Logan's voice, through me, will reach those who need to hear it—parents, children, educators, and communities.

The book also provides a window into the deep pain and healing process of losing a child to addiction. It’s my way of saying: "You are not alone, and there is a way to turn grief into action."

How You Can Help

The funds raised through this campaign will cover the costs of professionally printing and distributing Logan’s Story. My goal is to make it accessible to as many people as possible—through libraries, recovery programs, schools, and advocacy events. Your support will also help fund outreach efforts to spread the book’s message far and wide.

Specifically, your donations will be used for:

• Printing and binding costs for the first run of Logan’s Story.

• Cover design and formatting to create a compelling and professional presentation.

• Distribution to community organizations, recovery centers, and educational programs.

• Promotion to raise awareness about overdose, fentanyl poisoning, and the urgent need for change.

Your Support Matters

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to sharing Logan’s life and legacy with the world. Together, we can honor him by raising awareness and sparking conversations that could save lives.

If you can’t donate, you can still help by sharing this campaign with your network. Every share helps spread Logan’s story and its vital message.

Thank you for standing with me in this mission. Logan’s Story is not just our journey —it’s a call to action for all of us to confront the opioid crisis with compassion, understanding, and resolve.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

With gratitude,

Doug Ballinger – Logan’s Dad
