send a message, please.

People actively using, please reach out. I've learned tons since I quit using - stuff that could have saved me a lot of misery. I also don't know the state of things on the streets these days, and I need some input.
Don't want to put your name out there? Email is an okay option, but there's also a dedicated telegram account! Details below.

Help me make a difference. This next overdose doesn't need to be an overdose death, and together we can grind away the stigma one day at a time.

What is lacking in Freeport, as far as safe supplies? What is there an availability or accessibility issue with in this area that needs to get rectified? Send a message if you'd prefer anonymity

Speaking of anonymous contact, I'm going to set up some sort of platform to communicate that keeps anonymity stigma is still there and I don't want anybody to go without Narcan just because they're afraid they'll get outed

And you'll get absolutely no judgment from me, regardless of what substances you do or don't use. Just try to be safe, and do your best to minimize harm. That's the idea behind

Keys, wallet, phone, narcan... Yup.
Stay safe.

I have a handful of IV site prep / wound care bags available. This is a fancy way of saying I have alcohol pads for pre-injection prep (also good for surface prep when using nasally), and small, discrete bandages for post-injection care.

Looking to add iodine swabs, ties, a&d ointment, scoops, cookers (great for testing also!), and most importantly STERILE WATER. If you can donate either the money or the supplies, I'll provide receipts for proof of fund use. A lot of the IV prep / wound care supplies will have crossover with safe nasal use supplies. I'm not providing any tubes, pipes, syringes, etc as of today. If you need those things, I can point you in the right direction for free supplies through a various number of organizations, or you can go to any pharmacy in illinois. They are required to provide syringes for purchase without a prescription. If they tell you they can't without a prescription, they are lying. Please use clean, safe supplies. I'll either link to or type up a tutorial on safe supply sterilization procedures has a second best option, but ideally always use new, fresh, unshared equipment.

I'll get an Amazon wish list set up soon to make things even easier for everybody. I appreciate the support I received so far, and we're still here. Hit the inbox, text the phone number, give it a call, email us at nobodyneedstodie815@gmail.com.

Nobody needs to die today.

EVERY opioid overdose death is preventable. "Narcan resistant" is a things. You just need more... And I'm more than happy to give anybody that wants some a few boxes.

I'm looking toward expanding the supplies available soon, and will be looking for a feedback and input. Despite the bouts of silence, we're still here, and we feeling those places that are stocking Narcan and test strips.

If anybody out in the Chicago area would be willing to do a small part to help, send me a message. I can't stock enough test strips, and it would be a massive help if somebody in the Chicago area would be able to acquire some test strips for me 🙂

Nobody needs to die today 💯

The video demonstrating the proper use of test strips will come today, but for right now, I would like to announce that several weeks ago, received an email indicating approval to benefit from Illinois SUPR / DOPP funding for supply.

One step along the way, surely, but an important one. So far, we have relied on resources provided by other agencies, and the last couple weeks aside, kept pretty busy doing so.

Over $17,000 worth of narcan in 2 months.... That's incredible, and a good start. Mad love to The Perfectly Flawed Foundation , Live4Lali , and Sinnissippi Centers for the test kits, cases upon cases of narcan, and the valuable time and advice I've received. I can't put a value on it, I really can't.

Community support has been equally present, and appreciated. The several locations and the other people besides that have helped distribute this lifesaving stuff... We're doing it. We.

Thank you all 💯
