BUD -Better Understanding Drugs B.U.D. (Better Understanding Drugs)
Bringing awareness and understanding of Fentanyl and other drugs. Sharing resources and support.

Our son, Jason, passed away from an accidental fentanyl overdose at the age of 19. This tragic loss has been very hard on our family, and I want something good to come of it. So, I am looking to start a non-profit to help provide resources, free Narcan and to spread the word about something near and dear to my heart. If ONE life can be saved it is worth the hard work and effort!

We’re truly honored to stand alongside Sisters In Christ and LifePointe Church in this mission. 💛 Every dose of Narcan represents a chance to save a life — and every life saved brings us one step closer to ending this epidemic. Thank you for the love and compassion you pour into your community! 💛 It’s inspiring to see faith and action come together to bring real hope and healing. Together, we can make a difference. 🙏

We are beyond grateful. 💛

Today, our Compassionate Ministry, Sisters in Christ, received a generous donation of over 100 doses of Narcan from BUD -Better Understanding Drugs. We could not be more thankful for these amazing people.

Just last week, while serving in the field, our team came across a heartbreaking reality — someone who lost their life to an opioid overdose. 💔

Now, thanks to B.U.D, we are better equipped to make sure that doesn’t happen again — not on our watch. Their mission to bring fentanyl awareness and overdose prevention is saving lives, and we are honored to join them in that fight.

🙏 Please take a moment to visit and support B.U.D (Better Understanding Drugs) and learn what they’re doing and how you can be part of ending this epidemic together.
