We are not alone
Helping connect families to the information, resources, and activism they need when dealing with the disease of addiction, with the death of an addict, and when dealing with the horrific growing number of parents who lost their child to fentanyl poisoning.
Focused on harms to youth: #ItsNotJustPot - #OnePillCanKill - #JustSayKNOW - as these harms killed Michelle & Jeff Leopold's forever 18 year old son, Trevor Leopold. May this activism help save other lives - and prevent other families from feeling the Leopold family's pain.
"Ending the Stigma" is a new Ace Hardware "Ace Heartware" story airing since August 2023, a mini-documentary about how Michelle & her six Stan's Hardware stores help their communities with Narcan training in their communities.

Measure K was soundly defeated on the November ballot. Sausalito Locals and Marin Residents for Public Health Cannabis Policies, prevented the monopoly on the ballot from taking away local control and stopped Big Cannabis-friendly laws that couldn't be changed without another ballot initiative.

Michelle demolished the boundaries between her personal volunteer advocacy, and her work life, and organized SIX Events in the SF Bay Area, in the days
between Fentanyl Prevention & Awareness Day 8/21/22
and International Overdose Awareness Day 8/31/22.
The "Tools" around Fentanyl Awareness and Overdose Prevention
at her six Ace Hardware stores, helped to raising awareness,
reduce stigma, and trained Narcan-wielding first-responders in our community, including many of Michelle's team members at her Stan's Hardware stores.

#SorryNotSorry from Michelle: I want to share that this website is not the main part of my community activism, it is just a resource that I use when sending people to "more information" about the areas which I speak about. I spend much more time on speaking to people, than on keeping this website up-to-date, for which I apologize and ask your understanding! Speaking out is much more important to me than keeping my website updated, so that's why this remains a work-in-progress and is incomplete.😘
