“Let’s start being kind to each other”: Kamloops woman asks for compassion on International Overdose Awareness Day
KAMLOOPS— In Kamloops, many families have been impacted by losing a loved one to an overdose. These families have been crying out for help and for a change in attitude toward those affected by addiction.
Today (Aug. 31) is International Overdose Awareness Day, and a local woman has created a display in her front yard to honour her nephew who died nearly four years ago.
“I personally didn’t have a chance to save my nephew, and I can’t even tell you how horrible that is.”
