Sometimes experience is the best teacher, and Ginny Burton has had plenty of it. As a severe heroin drug addict with 17 felony convictions, Ginny finally broke free from addiction at age 30 and turned her life around. Today, she is a business owner and advocate who works hard to direct policy change aimed at protecting people from the scourge and destruction of addiction, including fentanyl poisoning. Ginny’s life has been affected by tremendous loss due to addiction - including the loss of her 32-year-old son who committed suicide just a few weeks ago. “We’ve got to do something! What we’re doing isn’t working. We’re perpetuating the destruction of life across our country,” she urges. She explains how easily fentanyl can be obtained on the streets and what we can do to help others find freedom.
