In North Carolina, 10 people die each day from fentanyl. That means 10 families are forever changed, and friends will never be the same.
That is the ripple effect.
The wave that emanates from every overdose.
Even small efforts can ripple outwards like a wave, creating significant impact and fostering change.
North Carolina also ranks #4 in the nation for fentanyl deaths, yet 10th in the nation for population.
Fentanyl is also the #1 cause of death in North Carolina in ages 18 to 25.
Every day, lives are lost to fentanyl, and families are left to pick up the pieces.
Wilson’s Wave was born from such a tragedy—when Wilson Moore, a beloved son, friend, and community member, lost his life to an accidental fentanyl overdose.
Wilson’s Wave is a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl and other opioids.
Our mission is to educate communities, share Wilson’s story, and prevent future tragedies. We strive to protect others from the same fate through speaking engagements, educational programs, and community outreach.
