'Stache Bags Save Lives!
Aldea's Fentanyl Awareness Campaign in Partnership with The Michael Leonardi Foundation
As the essential community partner for children and families, Aldea is committed to bringing awareness to critical issues facing our clients and neighbors. One of the most insidious crises nationwide is fentanyl poisoning, a product of the ongoing opioid epidemic. Of the fentanyl crisis, acclaimed author of Fentanyl, INC., Ben Westoff told Aldea, "Any pill or powder bought off the black market may contain fentanyl. Even if a pill looks exactly like a Xanax, Percocet, or whatever, it can kill you. Use fentanyl testing strips, and stay safe out there!"
In response to this community need, Aldea has partnered with the Michael Leonardi Foundation to launch 'Stache Bags Save Lives, a campaign with the purpose of informing young people about the dangers of fentanyl poisoning. Michael Leonardi was a local young man and "empathetic soul" who tragically passed away after unknowingly ingesting a lethal dose of fentanyl, "He was no way aware the counterfeit Percocet he purchased from a dealer on Snapchat was really fentanyl, not oxycodone." Tragically, his story is an increasingly common reality for many families in our community. 'Stache Bags Saves Lives is a harm-reduction initiative that aims to promote testing drugs before use and arms young people with the knowledge and resources to navigate instances of fentanyl poisonings.
Aldea and The Michael Leonardi Foundation were at Napa Valley college passing out potentially life saving fentanyl test kits to students. Fentanyl is a deadly, insidious, synthetic opioid that is found in powder or pills everywhere in the illegal drug market. The only way to know if one's dose contains fentanyl is to test it.
