Tanitha Worth is a mother whose life changed forever on a day no parent should ever have to face. She lost her young son to fentanyl—an unthinkable tragedy born out of the silent epidemic devastating families across the country. One pill. One moment. That’s all it took. And in that moment, her world was shattered.
Her son was bright, kind, full of laughter. Like many others, he didn’t know the pill he took was laced with a lethal dose of fentanyl. It was quick, and it was final. In the wake of his death, Tabitha was swallowed by grief—but she refused to be silenced by it.
Instead, she found strength in her pain, turning it into purpose.
Tabitha is now a tireless advocate, working to raise awareness about the deadly realities of fentanyl poisoning. Sharing her son’s story so that others might never have to tell their own. Her message is raw, real, and necessary: fentanyl is not a distant danger—it’s here, and it’s taking lives.
She works tirelessly to push for stronger education and prevention measures. More than anything, she offers support to other parents walking the same path she never imagined she’d be on.
Through it all, Tabitha carries her son’s memory in everything she does. His name, his face, his laugh—those are the reasons she gets up every morning to fight for change.
This is not the life Tabitha wanted, but it’s the one she lives now—with courage, compassion, and an unbreakable determination to protect other families from the pain she knows all too well.
