The reason for Wings of Hope
Why we started Carson's Wings of Hope:
Carson, like countless youth and young adults today, tragically passed away after fighting anxiety, depression and substance abuse. A fentanyl laced substance took his life at age 21. He was kind and loving and had so much to offer the world. We want Carson's light to shine through to those seeking resources and financial assistance towards treatment and recovery opportunities.
Life is Precious
This is Eli. Eli passed away at age 22.
Eli loved his friends and family dearly. He loved sports- watching and playing basketball, baseball and football. He also loved gardening and cooking.
Our Mission
Our mission is to prevent fentanyl and opioid deaths by offering information and resources, while also providing educational and financial support to individuals facing trauma, substance abuse, or mental health challenges.
