After losing my beloved youngest child Zach (17 years old) on 12-27-2020 to a counterfeit prescription pill made of illicit fentanyl, I have made it my mission to warn and educate others on this deadly crisis. I serve on the Parent Advisory Committee for the family run non-profit organization Song For Charlie and I also serve as an Outreach Coordinator. Our focus is on public awareness through social media campaigns and promoting a counterfeit pill curriculum called “Fake and Fatal” that was developed by the Beaverton School District in Oregon. The program is precise and timely and is being offered for FREE to all districts in the country. I also develop presentations for community awareness events aimed at warning parents and kids of the growing crisis of fentanyl poisoning.
