Help NuKo destroy the
22 teenagers die every week from drug overdoses in America. Fake pills are being sold to kids on Snapchat right now. One pill can kill. NuKo is fighting back — and she needs your help.
Our Mission
Fentanawl is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the lives of teenagers and preteens by exposing the deadly truth about fentanyl, nitazenes, and synthetic drug poisoning. We go into schools, communities, and homes — armed with real stories, real facts, and the personal experience of a family that lost a brother and watched another one fight to survive. We exist because no child should die from a drug they didn't even know they were taking. Our mission is to educate, empower, and equip every young person to look the Fentanawl Monster in the eye — and just say NAWL.
The Numbers
Teenagers Die Every Week From Drug Overdoses
That's a full classroom. Every single week. — CDC
Deaths Per Month
Nearly 3 teenagers killed every single day in America
Teen Deaths in 2023
2.5× more than 2019 — fentanyl changed everything (KFF)
Involve Fentanyl
Up from 32% in 2018. Fentanyl now dominates teen overdose deaths
Fake Pills Are Lethal
60% of seized counterfeit pills contain a deadly fentanyl dose (DEA)
Deaths Linked to Social Media
Dealers use Snapchat, Instagram & TikTok to reach your kids (NCPC)
Drop in Deaths — 2024
Biggest decline in decades. 70+ lives saved per day. Awareness works. (CDC)
Proof It Works
Reduction in Drug Use
School prevention programs show up to a 33% reduction in weekly substance use among students who complete them. (RAND)
Drop in Overdose Deaths in 2024
The steepest decline in decades — driven in part by public awareness campaigns, Narcan distribution, and school outreach. (CDC)
Real Skills Training Works
Programs teaching teens to recognize and resist peer pressure — exactly like Fentanawl — consistently outperform lecture-only approaches. (NIH, SAMHSA)
Prevented From Addiction
Research shows effective early intervention reduces the chance teens become addicted. Reaching kids before first use is the most powerful tool. (CDC)
Stories Beat Statistics
Programs featuring real survivor stories — like our recovering brother — produce significantly stronger behavior changes than information-only programs. (PMC)
Returned for Every $1 Spent
School-based drug prevention programs generate an estimated $18 in social and economic benefit for every dollar invested. (RAND)
Know the Threat
Fentanyl
⚠ 100× stronger than morphine
Invisible. Odorless. Tasteless. Hidden in fake Adderall, Xanax & Percocet. A few grains of salt-sized dose is lethal. Now sold on Snapchat.
Nitazenes
🚨 NEW — Up to 100× stronger than fentanyl
The newest killer showing up in fake pills online. Won't appear on standard drug tests. Even multiple doses of Narcan may not work. Almost nobody is talking about this yet.
Carfentanil
⚠ 100× stronger than fentanyl — made for elephants
A speck too small to see can kill. Now found mixed into street drugs with no label, no warning, and no way to detect it without a test strip.
Marijuana / Weed
⚠ More dangerous for teens than most believe
Today's weed is 2–3× more potent than a decade ago. Teen brain development isn't complete until age 25. Even occasional use causes real harm.
The truth about weed
It's on their phones right now
Snapchat
Most common platform. Messages disappear. Dealers feel invisible.
DMs and stories used to advertise. Accounts look like normal teens.
TikTok
Coded comments used to connect buyers and sellers in plain sight.
Fake Pharmacies
Professional websites. Fake logos. Real poison. Free shipping to your door.
Venmo / Cash App
Payment in seconds. Pills arrive in regular packaging 2 days later.
Real lives. Real families.
Zach Didier
Age 15 — Sacramento, CA
Found pills on Snapchat. Took one. His parents found him the next morning. It was fentanyl. No drug history. One pill. Gone.
Caleb Kindy
Age 16 — Oregon
Ordered pills online thinking it was OxyContin. Counterfeit. Filled with fentanyl. 16 years old. No second chance to choose differently.
Emma Semler
Age 20 — Maryland
Took what she thought was Adderall at a party — from a friend who didn't know either. Laced with fentanyl. Died that night. Her family now fights for yours.

Protect yourself
Not from a friend. Not online. Not from anyone. Period.
What arrives may look real. It may not be. No second chances.
Don't wait. Good Samaritan laws protect you. Silence is the only wrong choice.
Available at most pharmacies. No prescription needed. It can reverse a fentanyl overdose.
Especially for teens. Today's marijuana is 2–3× stronger. It damages developing brains and is increasingly laced with fentanyl.
