Dalton's Story

Dalton was born 8/23/1996 in Indianapolis, Indiana and was the oldest of 4 children.  From a young age he loved animals, enjoyed drawing, hanging with his friends, and watching Anime.   While in high school he started experimenting with drugs like weed and drinking cough syrup,  over the next 10 years he found he preferred benzos. Although he tried many, many times to get clean through rehabs and sober living facilities.  He did well several times, but unfortunately he lost his fight and died 11/4/2022 due to fentanyl poisoning.  He was only 26 years old and been fighting addiction for over 10 years.  Dalton was very loving young man that would do anything he could for someone, but like 40 million kids like him, he struggled to help himself.  He told his family that he knew what he was doing, but his knowledge failed him.  In honor of Dalton, his family has started this foundation to help others and their families with the epidemic of drug and alcohol abuse.  In his name maybe others can be saved.  

In time, through partnerships with other organizations and families like ours, we hope to advocate for the 40 million families effected by addition at local, state and even federal levels.  As well as bringing focus on those organizations practicing best practices.  Dalton, like many of your struggling loved one, was using drugs and alcohol to numb his body because of the mental and physical struggles he was involved in.  We can do better, we must do better.
