“I wanted to address my senators, Cruz and Cornyn.. I would like for them to know that what happened to me is a direct result of the policies they support. I nearly died on their watch and I may have been robbed of the opportunity to have children in the future”
Learn to cope families on a beautiful healing hike and some yoga to restore their energy at our “resilience is a mindset” retreat my heart is happy after seeing so much healing and so many smiles self care is not selfish it’s necessary to survive what we live
It was an honor to talk about this with two people doing such important work this conversation has to continue! So grateful and ready to get to work on making sure we can help families in need during the worst times of their lives thank you WBUR and Brendan and Elsa!
Thank you @RadioBoston & @WBUR for having us on to discuss the importance of supporting families after a loved one dies from overdose. 57% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 emergency. Financial stress, on top of losing a loved one to overdose, is devastating. Let’s support this!
Thank you to the commission on the status of Grandparents raising grandchildren for this award! John Lepper has devoted his life to this cause! I will never stop fighting for families and children affected by SUD
Feeling proud and humbled ❤️ @L2CHope

No one has to die from overdose. We applaud the FDA's decision to make #naloxone nasal spray available over the counter and hope that the agency will work with manufacturers to ensure it is affordable to those who need it most. #naloxonesaveslives #harmreduction
Today, FDA approved a naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray for over-the-counter, nonprescription, use – the first naloxone product approved for use without a prescription. fda.gov/news-events/press-an…

I feel sorry for those with a gambling addiction and those who will become addicted to gambling the commercials are a constant temptation for those who struggle and enticing people to start I get it we can bet now right from our iPhone enough already
