Marissa's Voice is a 501c3 ​approved nonprofit organization raising fentanyl awareness  particularly targeting youth and young adults who have struggled with mental health and trauma.

Their main objective is to educate and provide Narcan to young adults and adolescents facing mental health challenges and trauma. With fentanyl being the leading cause of death for individuals aged 18-45, they are dedicated to making a meaningful impact.

Marissa’s Voice is committed to empowering communities through knowledge sharing and active engagement, with a special focus on youth, young adults, and parents in Duncanville, Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Oak Cliff, greater South Dallas, throughout Texas, and beyond.

Marissa’s Voice has been issued a Naloxone Standing Order in Texas, allowing them to distribute naloxone without a prescription and administer it during suspected opioid overdoses—a critical step in saving lives.

To sustain their vital work, they rely on ongoing funding. Your generous contributions enable them to provide accurate educational information both online and in print, ensuring our message reaches as many people as possible. Your support also funds fentanyl awareness billboards, serving as constant reminders of the drug’s dangers.

Additionally, they provide lanyards with free naloxone and detailed usage instructions, making it easier for community members to respond effectively in emergencies.

Marissa’s Voice collaborates with other community nonprofit organizations to pool resources and better serve the communities.
