We are doing one more push for donations for Brooklyn’s headstone. We had a goal of $2,000, and we have $700 to go. Brooklyn passed away from fentanyl on August 30, 2025. Heidi knows the backstory on the family’s grief and struggle, and we knew right away that we wanted to help them. The family is extremely grateful.
If you’d like to donate, go to our website, click GET DETAILS, and scroll down to the headstone fund. We will send a check to the monument place next week. Anything left over will stay in our headstone/memorial account for future situations.
We raised some money for the headstone at our Chili Challenge, and we want to thank everyone who gave that day and everyone who has given in the past. It truly is a testament to the love you all have for others who are put in this unexpected and horrible experience.

This is our latest ad targeting teens, and it’s running on Snapchat right now. We target teens who are at risk being targeted on social media by bad people who try to sell them fake prescription pills laced with illicit fentanyl. There are so many people who still don’t know…share and you can possibly save a life.

We debuted this poster at the event on Saturday. It got the attention of many. That’s what Karl and Amara would have wanted.

Oh Mylanta, this is tomorrow!!! Are you coming? We have 8 chili challengers (including the President of C**n Valley and State Senator Brad Pfaff)…6 beautiful cakes for the cake competition...over 40 auction items, including the Green Bay Packer ball, homemade quilts and a rug, a Native American painting (if you came last year, you know what we’re talking about), framed art, baskets and much more. Dan and Mary are playing, and we will honor those lost to fentanyl/addiction and give out Narcan and educational material. Chili served between 1:00 and 3:00. Auction starts around 3:00.

Today is Tyler Turben’s 4th angelversary. Please keep the family in your prayers and thoughts today. These days are very hard. As his mom, Lisa, said today, the pain of the loss doesn’t get easier, it gets harder. Today she sat by the grave at sunrise to feel close to him. She talked to him and thought of what could have been.

Who doesn’t like a beautiful cake? All sorts of things are happening at our fundraising event on March 28th!

Please share.
Please support us by listening and downloading the song Dan Kouba wrote about our Mari. Every listen and download will support our cause. Dan did an amazing job on this song. He also has one of Blake Shelton’s guitarists (Jordan Larson), Loretta Lynn’s former keyboardist (Mike Schrimpf) and the bass player from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band playing in this song. It’s quite the big deal! The link to the song is in the comments. Thank you, Dan, thank you, our supporters…this is a beautiful tribute to Mari and everyone who has lost their lives to fentanyl.
