“The most impactful part was the story of the day that you lost your son and that emotionally affected me enough to where I would never want to put my parents through that.”

“Hearing your story and having a face, knowing this awful thing can happen to great kids who were not partying really hit it home with me. It is so important to remove the stigma of “that just happens to druggies”. Thank you so much for continuing to share your family’s experience.”

What was the most impactful part of the presentation for you?

  • “When a slideshow was played of all the people my age that were killed because of fentanyl”
  • “The story these parents had to through really put into perspective how serious the issue is. And the skittles thing, also really showed that about 50% of people can die from these drugs.”
  • “The most impactful part of the presentation was when the parents were telling us the story of how Cameron passed away, and how they reacted. I felt terrible, no one deserves to go through something like that.”
  • “The most impactful part of the presentation was the story of Cam. All these memories, and this deep grief really impacted me and made me realize how even after your death, you may not suffer anymore, but others will. Especially your loved ones.”
  • “The most impactful part of the presentation was the story that was told about Cam and his case. The other really impactful part was the story that the police officer told about the seventeen year old girl that almost passed away from trying fentanyl for the first time”
  • “The fact that deadly amounts of the drug can be infused with regular pills and you can’t tell the difference. I originally though people knew exactly what pills they were taking, but it turns out they don’t.”
  • “the fact that soooo many people died and that people even think about making and selling the pills just makes me sick. it made me very sad. i cried a lot in the presentation. i’m glad people are trying to make a difference”.
  • “just the little amount of fentanyl that can be fatal, also how common it is to find in pills you can buy off the internet and how easily addictive it is”
