Channeling Grief Into Unwavering Advocacy

In November, Corinne Kaufman lost her beautiful granddaughter Paige Gibbons to an accidental fentanyl overdose just four days after her 19th birthday. According to Paige’s grandmother, Paige and her two friends were not drug addicts. They bought what they thought was Percocet to relax. Paige and one of her friends took a small nibble out of a tablet. Paige died. Her friend endured a prolonged stay in intensive care where she suffered two strokes.

“My granddaughter Paige was all about life!” Kaufman said, “This demon drug knows no boundaries. It is taking people from all walks of life.”

Most of the fentanyl that is being sold in the U.S. is mass-produced in Mexico using chemicals primarily from China before being pressed into pills or mixed with other counterfeit pills made to look like Xanax, Adderall or oxycodone.

Kaufman has channeled some of her grief into launching “Families Against Fentanyl,” which advocates for getting Narcan opiate overdose reversal kits into middle and high school nurses’ offices and making fentanyl test strips readily available.
