WE WELCOME YOUR DONATION

Our objective is to raise $60,000 dollars to support drug education programs in Canada and the United States. Why $60,000? That represents one dollar for each of the 60,000 people who have died over the course of the War on Drugs in Mexico.  Not all of these people were necessarily innocent victims, indeed many of them were no less than evil perpetrators of heinous crimes who ran into even worse culprits. But if there were no illegal drug trade, if there was not the insatiable market for drugs in the north these senseless deaths would not have occurred. And even the most horrible criminals have good people who surround their lives - parents, partners, children. 



​

​A child should not pay for the crimes of their parents but children of drug war participants pay daily.

​

It is estimated that up to 50,000 children have lost at least one parent to the drug war. These are children whose future prospects have been greatly restricted by drugs



Helping educate youth in the consuming nations how to avoid drugs and choose healthier alternatives may mean that fewer teachers will have to have the kinds of talks I did with students whose dads were killed in the conflict. Although I did my best to encourage them to not follow in the steps of their fallen loved ones the truth is that the odds of a child breaking free of the grip of drugs, whether if be as a consumer or embroiled in the production and distribution, are slim without a lot of community support.
