Just because it's not showing up on a drug test does not mean they're not using drugs.
How do you find the strength to keep going after losing not one, but two children to heroin overdoses? In this poignant episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with Michelle Hamby, a mother who has faced unimaginable loss. Michelle's story is a raw and heart-wrenching account of her son Chandler and daughter Breana's battles with addiction, and the tragic outcomes that followed. But Michelle didn't let her grief consume her.
Instead, she turned her pain into purpose, becoming a fierce advocate for life-saving measures like Narcan for police officers and clean needle exchange programs. Her efforts even led to legislative changes, ensuring that more first responders are equipped with Narcan, potentially saving countless lives. Michelle's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the impact one person can make in the fight against addiction.
This episode is not just a story of loss, but also one of hope, advocacy, and the relentless pursuit of change.
