ABOUT US
On August 26th, 2022, around 2:30 PM, our lives were forever changed. This is the horrific moment that every parent has nightmares about. We had learned that our beautiful, ambitious, and fun-loving son, Alex, at age 19, passed away from a fentanyl overdose. As our family started to grieve our tragic loss, we soon discovered that we were not alone, not even a little.
Even though we were and still are deep and fresh into the loss of our firstborn child, and truly, still have days we don't believe he is really gone, we had an urgency inside of us that we had to do something and we had to do it NOW. We realized that fentanyl is not just killing our youth "here and there" in stories secluded to the national news. No, this is happening, here on the West Coast, happening here in Oregon, happening here in Jackson County, happening here in Medford, and sadly happening here, in OUR family....and soon could be YOUR family.
Because of this, we have made a dedication to Alex, our children, and all of your children, to share our story. By doing this, we are committed to working collectively with community partners, including police, and schools, and even fight legislation to increase awareness and prevention against the mass killings that fentanyl is responsible for.
Our Mission
Saving Young Lives
At Alex's Story, our mission is to save lives by raising awareness and promoting education about the dangers of illicit fentanyl use. We are a non profit organization dedicated to preventing avoidable fatalities caused by this lethal substance.
Through our advocacy, intervention, and support initiatives, we aim to empower individuals, families and communities to make informed choices and live drug-free lives. Together, we can make a difference and build a future free from this silent epidemic.
HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
The Focus of Our Efforts
Alex's Story partners with schools in Josephine and Jackson Counties to educate and raise awareness among youth about the dangers of illicit fentanyl. In both middle and high school classes, Alex's Story starts each visit by sharing their emotional and tragic experience of losing their son, Alex, to an accidental fentanyl overdose. Through their story, they provide factual information about the dangerous and often invisible nature of fentanyl, aiming to increase children's awareness of the hidden risks in drugs.
