Fentanyl Crisis

Stefanie Turner is the founder of Texas Against Fentanyl, a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives through fentanyl awareness. Her life was forever changed after her 19-year-old son died after taking one illicit Percocet pill in September 2021. This tragic event challenged Stefanie to use her voice and passion to help bring awareness and attention to this epidemic that our nation is facing. Stefanie is extremely passionate, honest, and authentic as she bravely shares her son’s story with hopes of helping to prevent others from suffering the deadly effects of this dangerous drug that is devastating our communities.
 
The mission behind TXAF is to create awareness about fentanyl, provide resources, and support affected families who are grieving the loss of a loved one. TXAF is also focused on lobbying for fentanyl education in all schools and has partnered with a national educational publishing company to create an accredited curriculum written to Texas standards for grades 6-12. By continuing to educate, support, and help foster legislative changes, TXAF is committed to helping end the fentanyl epidemic.
