Sometimes, I wonder
Sometimes, I wonder what Justin would be like today had he survived his overdose. Would he have been able to overcome his addiction? Would he have married his girlfriend Allie?…
This is a lot of work!
I have to admit that it was much easier when I forgot about the website and strictly used Facebook.
We lost our 23 year old son on June 2nd 2017 to a Heroin overdose. By being upfront about our tragedy we hope to help others and prevent others from experiencing the loss of a loved one.
Justin David Hendrix/Justin Delivers Hope. Hope, by definition, means a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. We are delivering hope: hope that the Narcan will save lives; hope that the addict will overcome addiction; hope that we can prevent other families from experiencing our loss; hope that we can keep fighting; hope that we can help get heroin/opiates off the streets; hope that we can remove the stigma of loving a heroin/opiate addict. By publicly speaking about our loss and providing Narcan to families in need, as well as putting K-9s on the road to help officers take drugs off the streets, we HOPE to make a difference.
