In Episode 205, I speak with Andrea Thomas, of Facing Fentanyl Now and Voices of Awareness, about her daughter Ashley's death at 32 to fentanyl poisoning.

Ashley is Andrea’s first born and when she was killed by fentanyl back in 2018 the world was not as educated about this scourge as they are now as a result of her activism and that of many other parents who endure this sorrow.

In an effort to deal with excruciating pain she suffered from pancreatitis, Ashley searched for relief.

Her boyfriend, who unknowingly gave Ashley the fatal pill laced with fentanyl that killed her, took his life the next day after realizing what had happened. Now two families were devastated by one half of one pill.

In an effort to help families who came after her, she has spearheaded three advocacy organizations/events: Focus on Fentanyl, Voices of Awareness and the National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day which now will be August 21st every year moving forward in the United States.
