Im the other brother talked about in the video. Kooper was defiantly one of a kind. He would drop anything he was doing to lend a helping hand. One time my phone died and I was stranded. Koopers phone number was one of the only ones I had memorized so I gave him a call from a gas station phone. He was at that gas station in 10 minutes to pick me up. Just the kind of person he was. His death was and is the hardest thing me and my family has ever dealt with. Its still hard not to tear up when I think about him. He's a bright light in a dark world. Im currently deployed so I couldnt be there for the making of this video, but thank you to texas pictures for making this! Very well put together. May his memory and story live forever!

Addiction is a lifelong battle. It's a matter of "im not gonna use today" (every day) rather than "im never gonna use again". Congratulations on making it this far. People who don't understand the struggle will say things like "Well duh, drugs are bad. Nobody should be praised for not doing drugs". But our brains are wired differently, and the reality is that it's just as hard for us to resist our substance of choice as it is for regular people to resist food. Our brains literally think that we need the drug to survive. So every day we stay clean should be celebrated, no matter what an ignorant person says. If you're not involved with an NA support group, please join one. They understand what you're going through. And even if you have a slip-up, they don't care. You don't have to say "im clean for X amount of days", you can literally just say "I'm clean today" and that's perfectly acceptable.

I cant tell you, everyone who is working on these and participating in the interviews, how important this video series is. Not just because it's important that we know about fentanyl, about the dangers, the warning signs, etc. But also because every single person in these videos deserves their lives to be honoured, their story told. These videos do an amazing job at showing that. We hear about who these people were, their childhoods, their lives, how loved they were. Sadly we know how many times people with substance abuse disorder aren't always seen as valuable or important anymore. I really feel like your series helps with that. And I think that is just as important as making people aware of the dangers.

This weekend, we are going to another funeral- another best friend he grew up with. This is in a small farming community. I almost lost him as well. It was a razors edge situation. I quit my job to be his fulltime, glued on bodyguard. I had reached the end of the rope with losses. He finally hit bottom & got it. He has been clean for over 6 years now. But he is living for so many others in his circle now, who are no longer with us.🙏🏼

Very sad. I'm a fentanyl addict of a little over two years. Its very hard to quit. Plus It's absurdly cheap to buy for the strength it carries. As little as $2 a pill around where I live. Sometimes I have thoughts of wanting to give up on life but I know that's not the answer. This video gives me a reminder of the destruction that it could cause. Granted, I probably like a lot of addicts, don't think anybody would care if i died. The main thing that has me hold on is my dog, i wouldn't want to just disappear from his life as i know he'd miss me tremendously. Hopefully one day I will find my way out of this vicious cycle.

Your story is very much like mine, especially when you talk about how smart your son was. How your son was smoking pot and he was telling you about how it was legal in different places around you, my kids said that same thing to me multiple times when I would come home from work and smell it in the house. I finally told them both they were not to use it in the house and I didn't want to know about it. If I had only known...I lost Andy January 16th of 2020 and I had no idea he was using anything, I had noticed something was off with him here and there, but he was so smart, he had a genius IQ and I didn't think he would be doing anything that could harm him. He took what he thought was a pain pill that obviously was not, Andy was 29.5 years old when he passed away, he was living with me and his brother Adam who found him that day when he got home from school. Adam was very similar to Andy, he also had a genius IQ, he was devastated by the loss of Andy. We both had a very difficult time dealing with it. Adam overdosed 3 times in the 6 months leading up to his death. He knew what he was doing, he had been self hurt himself for a long while before he passed away, cutting his arms, legs and torso to the point of mutilation. He barely had a spot on his body that he hadn't cut, it was awful. He promised me he would never do anything again to hurt himself the hours before he passed away. I found him slumped over on the floor in his room with his face in a pool of vomit and blood, he was blue and frozen. He was my baby boy, my everything and my purpose to keep going every single day since January 16th when Andy passed away. Adam was 17 when he passed away May 21st, 2023. I can't close my eyes without seeing him that day, I never in a million years thought I would lose one child, but now I have lost two 💔 😢. God, I want to be with them now. It doesn't seem to get any better than it is. Their dad passed away October 18th 2023 from the same damn thing. We were divorced and did not live together, but we had become friends after the loss of Andy, but the loss of Adam was more than he could handle, and he decided to join them. I am now here alone, no family living at all...I am so very sorry for your loss of your son! You are so right when you say it doesn't discriminate, this is a chemical warfare of massive power that is going to take an entire generation if we can't find a way to stop it. Bless you both and your family!!!😢

I too wish anything in the world would be other than this. I feel it is a weapon of mass destruction being used in our country to eliminate the entire future. It's in everything, pot, Adhd medication, xanax, pain pills, whatever you can think of. The hospital dismissed him as if he sprained his toe. They didn't have anyone come in to talk to him, me, nothing, and he was taken to the same hospital 4 times in 5 months for overdose. The last time we went, I asked to speak to the doctor when he was being released after 45 minutes in the emergency room, the doctor came in, handed me a bag with two hypodermic needles and two vials of narcan, saying that I need to keep it close to me since Adam was overdosing so often, then told him that he wouldn't always be so lucky to live. That was it! Well he was right because exactly 29 days later he was gone. Never had to use the narcan. He did it all the last time, knowing what he was doing and what the end result would be. I watch the stories of others who have lost their child, I made Adam watch the videos as well, I told him if he ever wanted to use it again, get enough to take me with him because I honestly can't survive without him. Now here I am all alone with both of them gone. Parents are not supposed to be here when their children pass away, it's not the natural order of life. Prayers for you and everyone else who is in our shoes, unfortunately we are only 1, or 2 of thousands upon thousands of parents who lost their child to the same damn thing ...

My daughter was addicted to drugs and had 18 suicide attempts. It was really hard. I cried for years.

It’s so sad that he died on your birthday. My last birthday was the last time I had spent time with my son in person. I hope in time I can remember him without feeling so heavy and heartbroken. I want to thank you for educating everyone with your story- my son’s death is a shock because he lived through so many traumas and people taking advantage of him but he never saw it and always was trying help others- but he was the one that needed help. Kooper’s story matters. His life will always be honored and remembered by his loving family

Ever since my friend lost her son to Fentanyl, I’ve watched many many videos about this drug. Prior to this one was ignorant about this epidemic. I have three boys and I can’t imagine what these parents are going through. Breaks my heart 💔

It is because of the open borders. It allows the drug cartels to bring these drugs into the country. America cannot be destroyed by external forces. We are too big and protected by large land borders. We can only be destroyed from within. That is the plan by our enemies.

Yes, you are right. Our government is complicit. I actually believe this is by design. I’m not usually a conspiracy theory type, but this administration is not just doing nothing; they are facilitating this crisis.

I agree with Kooper's dad.. never put blinders on when it comes to your children. Don't ignore signs and think "not my kid". Don't assume it is just "kids that have drug problems". You could have a daughter/son in med school and are secretly taking street drugs.

When my son was in 8th grade we went to his high school’s open house and a counselor spoke to us and suggested we randomly drug test our kids…including for nicotine. She told us to start when they were still innocent enough to look at us like we’re crazy for even thinking they’d do drugs. She told us it could deter them and, probably more importantly, it gives the kids a reason to say no to offers and still look cool because their reason is because their parents drug test them. I did it all four years and he was always negative, but I’m very glad I did. Doesn’t matter how amazing your kids is…it happens to the best of them. Prayers for all the parents going through this senseless loss. Testing kits are on Amazon. 🙏

Campiti Family. I am very sorry to hear of your son's death. The way they describe it, it's a huge loss for his parents, siblings, the rest of the family, friends (the real ones) but, above all, it's a loss for himself, because he had a bright future ahead of him. The fact of being a policeman and being prepared to see or seek or know, implies, in a way, that, when we get home, we "hang up" our uniform and be parents, not policemen. Not because I don't want to see or seek or know, because at home we want to be parents and leave behind these things that can end up seeing, unfortunately, almost as something routine. They want to be parents, without their children feeling like they have the cop at home, controlling their every move. And that's the way it is. It is ok. We can be cops and parents. But the truth is that at home, so that they don't feel "watched or controlled" we relax. And as they've rightly said, fentanyl doesn't discriminate. He kills wherever he goes. I accompany you in your sentiments.

All of these stories and mine as well always contain the doctors prescribing opiates first. If we have the addiction gene we are prone to like it when they prescribe it. Some of us get clean but not everyone is so lucky. The pain we go through once someone is gone is so MUCH WORSE than being hurt and taking 500mg ibuprofen instead of opiates. We need to be smarter and thank you guys for sharing your story and starting this foundation! I look down at my 8 year old and pray she never goes through any of that. I’ll be DAMNED.

Dear Campiti Family , I watched & cried a few times.Kooper was born in the Deep Beautiful Fall Season & Passed in the Deep Beautiful Spring Season. Your kids all have very awesome Cool names. Kooper , Kami , & I presume Skylar ? 1 don't know you guys , never met , but I will pray forever , for you all. Little Boys at the age of around 10 are Amazing & the pic of Kooper with the blue T-shirt on the Bmx bike shows that. A Math & Science kid who got hit in the mouth with a flying baseball , is one Tuff little man. His grave site is beautiful. The Glowing Cross is Comfort & Hope. Your Advocacy Project is so very Decent & Commendable. Your Loved Son was Poisoned , with Evil. YOUR story is Powerful & Courageous. Thank you ALL. ❤😢 .
