In Their Own Words
My son passed away last year. He took what he thought was a prescription pill from a friend. It was fake. Laced with fentanyl. He never made it to 18. I didn't know this was happening. I didn't know one pill could kill. That's why I tell every parent I know: don't wait to talk to your kids. Say something. Ask questions. And keep Narcan in your home.

"I work in healthcare. I've seen the overdose numbers rise - especially among African Americans. People don't realize how easy it is to get caught up. That's why we handout Narcan and offer free trainings. We don't wait until someone's addicted. We act now."
Ms. Ruth, 71
Grandmother
"I used to think drugs were something that happened in other families. Then my niece died. Then my brother went to rehab. Now I know better. I don't whisper about it anymore - I speak up. We can't heal what we hide."

"Some of us don't even know the stuff we're taking is dangerous. We just want to escape. But if nobody tells us the truth, how are we supposed to know? We need spaces where we can be real, not judged."
