Shewwww...you are a voice of hope!!!

Is Friday night when most teens die of Fentanyl Overdoses?

Thank you for this!

Congratulations amber I am so very proud of you. You are a beautiful strong young lady and you have proved you can do anything you set your mind out to do! The sky is the limit! Congratulations to all of y'all graduates y'all all rock! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

So proud of you amber. Love you very much ❤ you are an inspiration and hope everyone can learn and grow like you did in life.

Excellent job & very savvy telling businesses to update. Not being current can often be an issue with effectiveness in the help field.👍

Wow! This is so awesome! Most people don't know how hard it is to want to stop living a life you feel you can't live without. To get incarcerated, and upon release, have nothing but the same old routine waiting for you as before you went in. And then when you are trying, people won't give you a chance. But living a righteous life is possible. I have done it. And I could've done it even better if I had had the chance to be apart of something like this. This shows that Judge Harrell actually cares about people and wants to help them recover and to better themselves. God bless you Sir....

Very informative video. Thank you!

What a class act

May God bless you. I believe you are honoring your beautiful son just by speaking out. By educating people . ❤❤

Sweetheart this really breaks my heart. My daughter is 31. My grandson is 12. I pray and worry every day. This video is helpful. Thank you for having the strength and courage to post it.

What a wonderful mom you are. So sorry for your loss.😢 I lost one of my daughters in 2016 in a similar way. I feel your pain. I miss my daughter every day!❤😢

God Bless you. I also talk to my kids about EVERTHING. From sex to drugs, no holds barred. There is nothing embarrassing they can tell me.

Oh momma I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Thankyou for doing this interview to inform and educate people to the dangers of these fake pills. Lets hope it saves even one life. Sending you love from Oxford, England.

I’m so sorry for your loss I feel your pain because I lost my son billy too fentanyl poisoning in September 2021

This is such a positive recovery tool, I can feel healing each time I leave Recovery Fitness I feel successfully going and coming to Fitness. No judgement just positive energy!! I love it! I’m thankful I found it.

It bothers me so much that medical professionals and police say u can die from touching fentanyl... its false... what that lie does is people don't want to assist those in an overdose... it causes death. I urge everyone to do a deep dive on fentanyl...byes the drug is VERY DANGEROUS... but touching it will not kill you. Fentanyl is used during an epidural... if touching it could kill you, no one wld be allowed in the room during its use... during a birth... same with fentanyl patches... you would not be allowed near one... if a cancer patient is wearing the patch... you can touch it... you can put it on the patient without gloves... ❤

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lot my best friend, my sissy from a fentanyl overdose. I came from work and found her deceased in my lazy boy. I got her on he floor and tried to do CPR but it was no use....she was a recovered heroin addict. 10 yrs sober. Bought some bad stuff that was laced with fentanyl. All the CPR in the world wouldn't have saved her but I still feel like I failed.

I am so sorry to hear this. I lost my step son and he was 19 when he passed. July 22nd was 4 yrs. He is forever 19. I have drilled this into my kids heads ever since. My biological son went from highest GPA in senior year to not caring and smoking weed. He is 22 now. Just learned yesterday he has been addicted to Fentanyl for past 6 months. I am begging him to get into recovery and he says yes one minute and no the next. I can't believe this is happening again. Our 3 other children (2 of which are adults) have never touched drugs. I don't understand. My son also has mild Tourettes and OCD and self esteem issues. I just can't believe this. I always watch and comment on this channel and share to fb and friends.

❤

Prayers for healing. Thank you for sharing.

I Love ❤️ Nik’s Story! Thankyou to his Precious Mama for Sharing his story! I’m a Suicide Survivor 12 times now!!!!!!!!!!!! And THE STRUGGLE IS VERY REAL!!! No Judgement!!! Only MERCY is what we all need!!!!!!!!💔❤️‍🩹💔❤️‍🩹💔❤️‍🩹

Heartbreaking! We lost my husbands only child September 4, 2022. She was like one of my own. She took something that was laced with fentanyl! & what makes this that much harder is my husbands nephew same age as his daughter is the one who gave her the substance she took. Having no idea it was laced w/ fentanyl! They were close like brother & sister & no family should ever have to feel so divided over losing a family memeber. Everyone in this family seems to be ashamed of the cause of death. Like they want to protect her reputation so no one is talking about it. I desperately want to spread awareness. Not allow her death to be in vain. I want her death to have purpose & be meaningful. So that maybe by telling her story it could save atleast one person her death will not have been for nothing. Payton Alyssa James baby girl we love you so much & miss u so bad. Keep watching over your daddy. He's so lost without u!He's not the same man he use to be. So come visit him in his dreams. ❤ love you baby girl

This woman is a gem.

The wisdom in this mother's words is remarkable. I pray that everyone listening to her speak, HEAR her words, and heed the advice she offers. Our greatest lessons come from experience and I truly hope and pray that this story resonates and helps to save lives. ❤

You are a wonderful mom! ❤️

Gosh a lot of these youth don’t want to get on prescribed medication to help them but would rather buy something from the street and potentially die from the purchase🤦🏻‍♀️ I hear it everyday. There’s a youth with manic delusions who refuses to get on medication and everyday this youth is “going through so much” (in their head) but won’t do anything proper to help themselves but will, drink, smoke weed and who knows what else. I don’t understand where these youth get that prescribed medication is so much worse than street medication. Sending Nicks family tons of love 🕊️ thank you for sharing his story 🙏🏽 I intend to share these videos with youth I’m in contact with daily.

Such a wonderful mother 🥺

Wow you’re a wonderful mother and seem like an amazing human being. You should definitely share your story to anyone and anywhere that will listen. You are a great speaker and think you can rally the troops and make positive changes in this crazy world. Hugs and prayers to you and your daughter.

Poor baby! Hugs to her! HUGE HUGS! 🌹You will see him again! XOXOXOXO

Heartbreaking and insightful. It’s not easy to say these things out loud, let alone on camera. I commend this amazing mom

😢😢😢. So sorry!!! Addiction is so bad. It's a shadow of a unwanted monster. We find out that the euphoria is something that is missing in us and this gives it for a short time. I leaned that there is a God shaped space in our hearts that is empty. It can't be filled by any other means, nada, nothing. Ask the Lord Jesus Christ Son of God Incarnate for His power in our lives. Does that mean it will be easy, smooth sailing? Absolutely not but we have hope and His promise. I don't understand God's plan most of the time, but we can trust it. It's not easy, but He says in the end, we can't imagine what's waiting for those who are saved. Will you relapse? You might. 🙏👆 He loves His church unconditionally. Pick yourself back up, He won't let you just lay there

😢my condolences rip nic

I understand your pain it’s so deep And the reason why is because I also lost my son to Fentanyl on 9/4/2022 That has been the worst day of my life

26

So sorry for your loss I know how you feel my grandson forever between six

I’m so sorry 😢😢😢. I recently lost my brother due to fentanyl.

You're a good mom who loves her kids. I think you are so brave to tell your son's story. Thank you for your honesty and I pray that you find healing & peace.❤

Never judge,parents can’t follow 24/7 their kids,not possible,bless your family.x

If you are a believer you will see your son again and neither of you will suffering from mental health!

We need more men in this world like him

I just wanna hug this lady. I’m proud of her for her openness. I’m proud of her daughter. It takes guts to tell your story despite feeling judged ❤ I hope she can accept someday that she did nothing wrong, that is a an awful thing to carry with you.

Good advice and common sense . Thank you.

She's the sweetest lady , I hate she has to deal with awful pain! Sickening waste of a wonderful mom! 😢❤❤

What a wonderful mother💕

I pray for you to heal the loss of your son. I lost my eldest daughter 11/2022. She was bi-polar, she ended up getting run over by a vehicle. I truly know your pain. My younger daughter is in active addiction 😢😢
