Overdose, Drug Poisoning And The Rise Of Fentanyl

In Episode 8 of Falling to Freedom, host Chad LaComb sits down with

Karen Streeter for a deeply moving conversation about her son Kai, who

tragically lost his life to a fentanyl overdose at 21 on June 6, 2024.

Falling to Freedom is the weekly podcast that confronts addiction

head-on, unpacking its root causes, devastating effects, and potential

solutions with raw honesty and hope.

Karen shares Kai’s vibrant legacy, a funny, bright, athletic, and

faithful young man who loved reading, writing, and serving others, while

candidly recounting his descent into addiction starting in his teens.

From vaping and marijuana to heroin and fentanyl, Kai’s story exposes

the challenges of navigating a system with scarce resources and the

deadly rise of fentanyl-laced drugs. Despite multiple overdoses and

systemic hurdles, Kai’s hope shone through, captured in his journal: “It

feels like I’m finally moving forward, God is establishing my steps

again…”

Through her faith and resilience, Karen advocates for compassion, better

youth programs, and stiffer penalties to combat the addiction crisis.

This episode is a powerful call to break the silence on addiction and

save lives.
