My heart sank the day my daughter became one of the victims of the fentanyl overdose at Bernstein High. I never imagined receiving a call that would change everything for us. Her bright future dimmed by an unexpected tragedy, we now face mounting medical bills and the uncertainty of her returning to school. As I sit by her side, the weight of these burdens feels overwhelming, yet the warmth of our community in Hawthorne reminds me that we're not alone in this fight.
Every day, I find strength in my daughter's resilience and the support of friends and neighbors. It's a challenging journey, demanding both emotional and financial stamina, as we work towards a $25,000 goal to cover her recovery and education fees. I believe the school must address these serious issues on campus, ensuring no other family endures what we’re going through. Your generosity brings us closer to healing and safety, and for that, my gratitude runs deep.
