Dedicated In Loving Memory
These are some of the lives behind the numbers. Every Angel was someone’s child, sibling, parent, or friend.
Our Mission
To empower and engage the public in working toward change, raising awareness, and collaborating efforts to combat the synthetic drug crisis.
We stand with families who have lost loved ones to drug-induced homicide and synthetic poisoning. We work to replace silence and stigma with remembrance, education, and accountability.
Our Objectives
These commitments guide everything we do.
Support Grieving Families
Provide support to families grieving the loss of a loved one to drug-induced homicide and other drug-related deaths.
Legislative Accountability
Fight for legislative change that holds drug traffickers and dealers legally accountable for deaths resulting from dealing illicit drugs.
Public Awareness
Bring awareness of the devastating number of lives lost to fentanyl, carfentanil, and other synthetic poisons.
Education & Understanding
Educate and support the public as it relates to stigma and the lack of understanding of the disease of addiction.
