Manage episode 440544039 series 3419350
Hans Arwine choked back tears as he recalled the moment he had to tell his wife that their son was gone. ”That was the hardest thing I’ve ever done–tell his mother that he was no longer with us,” he said.
The heartbreaking scene is tragically familiar across America—parents receiving the devastating news that their children have died from fentanyl overdoses. In the United States, nearly 300 people lose their lives to drugs every day.
Amidst this widespread grief, the dealers responsible for these tragedies often go unpunished. But Hans and Laurie Arwine are channeling their profound sorrow into a powerful fight for justice. Their journey is one of resilience and hope, as they strive to honor their son’s memory by seeking accountability and making a difference.
Join us today as we sit down with Hans and Laurie to hear their inspiring story of turning their pain into a mission for change, fighting for justice not just for their son, but for countless others affected by this crisis.
The Emily’s Hope Substance Use Prevention Curriculum has been carefully designed to address growing concerns surrounding substance use and overdose in our communities.
