Amanda Faith ~ Lucas Momma & Advocate for Fentanyl Awareness
Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Advocate, Youth Substance Prevention Advisor, but most importantly, MOM! Awareness of Fentanyl poisoning is important to me because… Luca didn’t want to die. He had so much more love to give to the world. He lived to make people smile and help others. Had he been given a Percocet like he was told he would still be alive. I am angry with Ryan (Luca’s murderer) because he knew how deadly fentanyl was while selling it to a 13yr old boy. I am angry at him for taking so much from me, but I’m furious about what he took from our community. Luca had so much potential and he loved Redding.
I started trying to write my victim impact statement and realized it was much more of a community impact statement. By living out loud and sharing the beautiful things Luca did for our community on a much larger scale hopefully I can inspire others to try to make a difference in the world...
