Fentanyl is unlike any drug we've ever faced. It's devastating our country at a staggering pace, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives-many of them young, vibrant, and unsuspecting. One moment, they're here. The next, they're gone-without warning, without a chance to say goodbye. This isn't just a drug crisis. It's a national emergency.
Facing Fentanyl was born from loss. It's our collective voice as grieving families, determined to raise awareness and save lives. We cannot-and will not-wait for the government to fully catch up. We are sounding the alarm ourselves, with love, with truth, and with everything we have left.
Most of us here know the unthinkable pain of losing a child to fentanyl poisoning. Some have lost more than one. Some have buried friends, siblings, parents. The grief is immeasurable, but so is our resolve. We stand together so that other families never have to live this nightmare.
The fentanyl crisis touches every corner of our lives-schools, workplaces, homes, neighborhoods. One website can't hold the full weight of this epidemic, but the many groups who support this National Day of Awareness each carry part of that burden. In our diversity of focus, we are united by one mission: to stop the deaths.
If you've come here because you sense the urgency, thank you. If you're here because you've lost someone, or you're barely holding on, please know this: you are not alone. There is support here. There is strength here. And if you're ready to turn your pain into purpose, there is a place for you in this movement.
We may not agree on everything, but we agree on this: we must act now. We must stop fentanyl poisonings. This platform reflects the tireless work of countless families and organizations, all fighting for the same goal-your safety, your voice, your future. Please take the time to read, connect, learn, and share. You are welcome here.
