This tragedy projected them into a new life purpose: to save lives through drug prevention programs. As a result, the Siegels have created a foundation in Victoria's memory called Victoria's Voice.
Jackie Siegel, famously known from the documentary 'Queen of Versailles', shares a deeply personal and heart-wrenching story in this episode. The Siegels were once engrossed in building the largest private residence in the U.S., but their lives took a devastating turn when their daughter Victoria died from a drug overdose in 2016. This tragic event shifted their focus entirely, leading them to create 'Victoria's Voice', a foundation dedicated to drug prevention education and saving lives.
Jackie opens up about the pain of losing Victoria and how it motivated her to help others avoid similar heartbreak. She discusses the importance of educating young people about the dangers of drugs, especially fentanyl-laced substances, and the critical role of open communication within families. This episode is a powerful reminder of the impact addiction can have on families and underscores the significance of proactive drug prevention efforts.
Tune in to hear Jackie's story of turning personal loss into a mission to save lives.
