Summary

SummaryI’m Art Dino, and at 19 my son Austin tragically lost his life to a fentanyl-laced Xanax overdose on June 14, 2016. My world shatteredβ€”I held my wife and mother-in-law as paramedics delivered the worst news. One month later, God spoke a bolt of lightning into my heart: β€œGet upβ€”there’s work to be done.” By August 3, I founded Austin’s Army (ACPD), sending our first young woman into recovery on August 16. Today, we’ve guided over 4,500 lives from addiction into long-term healing. We face an opioid crisisβ€”fentanyl infiltrates every prescription and street drugβ€”but through rigorous assessments, 90-day to two-year programs, and unwavering support, we maintain an 81 percent success rate. Funding remains our biggest hurdleβ€”we’re not state or federally fundedβ€”so we depend on your partnership to keep this second-chance mission alive. All glory goes to God, who turns tragedy into triumph. πŸ™βœ¨

Art lost his young son to a drug overdose. God then partnered with Art to turn that tragedy into hope for others. Tell Me Your Story #59
