Alexa McCondichie said her daughter Sarah Flinchbaugh was only 29 years old when she died. McCondichie wants to make it clear that her daughter’s death was not a result of an overdose -- it was a result of fentanyl poisoning.
McCondichie said she was unfamiliar with fentanyl and its effects before her daughter was exposed, but since has learned that fentanyl is the leading cause of death for people 18 to 45 years old.
Learning about the dangerous drug motivated McCondichie to speak out about her daughter’s death to bring awareness to the drug and its potential threats. “Our kids need to know about it. They can put fentanyl in any drug, even marijuana. They can put it in anything. It’s such a lethal thing,” McCondichie said.
McCondichie has a banner made by a group called the Lost Voices of Fentanyl with pictures of those who have been killed by the dangerous drug.She said she plans to go to Washington, DC to rally in front of the White House with Lost Voices of Fentanyl. “I hope to let the government hear us. I’m going to have a sign that has Sarah’s name on it. I just hope to bring awareness. We could control this if we tried harder,” McCondichie said.
