I founded APALD-Association of People Against Lethal Drugs as a
result of losing my son Jordan Garmatter to Illicit Fentanyl on
4/6/19.
My son suffered from Substance Use Disorder. He was drug free for 8
months when he developed a wisdom tooth growing in the wrong way.
His face was swollen and in pain. He worked part time and only had
Medicaid insurance so he couldn't get in to a dentist for two weeks
out. Jordan continued to work with this extreme pain but with one
week left to see the dentist he made the mistake to go get Drugs to
relieve his pain. But what he got was almost 100% Fentanyl.
Enough to kill 8 people in his system. My son didn't ask for
Fentanyl. The drug dealer made that choice to give him that and
didn't tell him it was Fentanyl.
So when I got the toxicology report and found out it was Fentanyl
that killed him I got very angry as I looked it up and discovered
it came from China then to Mexico and across our borders. So I
thought to myself, I have to do something! So I founded
APALD.
Since founding APALD we have had two national rallies. We are
getting set for our 3rd Annual APALD Nationwide Rallies on May
6th.
Our message is to bring awareness to Illicit Fentanyl which is the
leading cause of death in America ages 18-45. These Fentanyl
Poisonings must stop. We are losing a whole generation to this
Lethal drug.
