Friend,
I buried my son in 2008.
Jeff died from an overdose when he was only 27. Naloxone could have saved him.
Since his death, I've dedicated my life to preventing overdoses, to saving lives. That’s why I’m writing you today.
The Drug Policy Alliance is a leading advocate for overdose prevention, and they need your support. Help DPA save lives. Please give now and your gift will be doubled up to $100,000.
After my son died, my husband and I sought out other parents who experienced our loss. We couldn’t believe what we found. More people die from preventable overdoses than car accidents. Overdoses are now the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. |

Please help us save lives.

DPA is responsible for more overdose prevention reforms than any other group in the country. Reforms like 911 Good Samaritan laws that encourage people to call 911 by granting them immunity from prosecution. And reforms like over-the-counter access to the overdose reversal drug naloxone — a measure that could have saved my son.
After Jeff died, my husband and I fought for these reforms in California and eventually won. But there are so many other states that still need reforms, and that’s why we need your support.
Help us end the failed war on drugs. Contribute now and your gift will be doubled up to $100,000.
The holidays are always the hardest time of the year for me. My son Jeff was athletic and charming; he was bright, handsome and kind. But he’s no longer with us because he didn’t have access to naloxone.
Every parent has the right and responsibility to protect their children. Naloxone is safe, inexpensive, and has no side effects. It should be available to all who might need it.
Remember, the overdose epidemic does not discriminate. We’re losing at least one hundred people every day in the U.S. alone. It’s up to us to stop this.
No one should have to bury their child. Please help us save lives.

Sincerely,
Denise Cullen |
