The increasing prevalence of drug use among today's Americans poses a serious threat to those seeking a night of enjoyment. While many experiment with recreational drugs, some manage to avoid the dangerous effects, but tragically, others do not survive.
According to the CDC's 2022 health statistics, there were an estimated 107,622 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2021, representing a concerning 15% increase from the 93,655 deaths in 2020.
This surge follows a 30% increase in overdose deaths from 2019 to 2020.
On October 9, 2019, our lives were forever changed when we received the devastating call that no parent should ever experience.

In his memory, we are committed to raising awareness about the deadly consequences of drugs like Fentanyl, with the hope of saving LIVES.
