The Opioid Watchdogs pick a day, pick a media outlet and fill that outlet’s mailbox with letters telling the stories of loved ones. It's part of a greater grassroots effort 'asking every American to [put] the epidemic first.' (OnPointRadio)
Jauire had planned on traveling to Oklahoma if the Purdue suit had gone to trial. Hundreds of mothers intended to stand outside the courtroom holding photos of their dead children. The settlement is"blood money from our children," Juaire said.Those words float on the page above a large color photo of a little boy sitting on a rocking horse. Scott Bradley is cuddling a blanket, his deep blue eyes gazing into the camera.
Seeley’s letter screams with the agony of a mother who was alone and unsupported when she found out her son had died of a fentanyl overdose. The Purdue Watchdogs seek to bring people together to channel their pain, anger and frustration into action., such as Mary Peckham in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, who lost her son Matthew to a heroin overdose in 2012.
This support team will also follow up with families in the event of an opioid death, too, according to Egan."Can you imagine if you lost your child and then you’re going to comfort another mother? And the police are with you?"Paige’s mother, Elizabeth Mazurek of Stanwood, Michigan, uses letterhead with a winged heart and the words"Paige’s Promise" at the top of the paper. Mazurek writes that Paige was 17 when she got addicted to opioids after a dental procedure.
Egan says it’s these loved ones who are"fighting like crazy on the front lines" and"walking beside one another so that no one has to endure this loss alone."to demand the removal of the Sackler name from a building that houses one of the school's art museums.
