The anti heroin movement continues to push back against the abundantly dangerous drug that is now available in all parts of the St. Louis Area and bi state region. Protesters gathered for a 4 hour vigil on S. Lindberg blvd and highway 55. to bring awareness that heroin is in their neigborhood too and available to middle school children, teens and young adults.
Organizer, Chad Sabora was joined by several recovering addicts of all ages along with family members who had lost children, parents or sibbling to the disease. Despite what some think, heroin is widely available in the area. People from their teens to seniors are addicted to the potent substance.

I often want to crawl into my bed and pull the covers over my head . If  I could just take myself  back to that day and do it all over again I could make things better . Better for everyone who was effected by Taylor’s death. As unrealistic as that sounds it sure beats living  this nightmare that I’ll never wake up from. Or the endless darkness and huge void in my heart that was once so full of his life, love, and laughter.  Cope !  How do you do that ?  All I want to do is run , run as fast and far away as possible. But I can’t , there is no running , no hiding , just facing the worst thing that can happen to a parent. Its all about coping and dealing with the reality that he’s gone and not coming back.  Knowing what I feel is okay and allowing myself to disconnect from this tragedy so I can continue to function and live for those still here.  Being a role model not only to my children but to others who suffer as well.  There is hope to finding a new normal in life by taking  positive action to move forward through grief   in honor and memory of my son so loved by many.

Taylor wade Green died from heroin at the age of 18. As a result the stlheroinhelp.com site was created in order to help raise awareness of the heroin epidemic in the St. Louis Bi State Area.
