When Andrea Thomas' daughter Ashley lost her life to half of a pill that contained illicit fentanyl, her world was turned upside down. Since her daughter's death in 2018, Andrea has thrown herself into activism, starting the prevention and awareness organization, Voices for Awareness, and later working with other activists on Facing Fentanyl Now, an awareness and education organization.
