Addiction is an illness – let’s treat it with empathy. Because everyone is someone’s someone.
Someone’s Someone aims to show there’s real people that represents every addiction, overdose or drug poisoning statistic you see. They may be parents, siblings, friends, neighbours. Maybe they’re the familiar faces at the coffee shop, the regulars at the grocery store, the commuters on the bus. They’re valuable, dignified members of society, worthy of love and respect, and their absence would ripple through our communities in ways we may not immediately realize.
