Episode 030 - From Tooth to Tragedy

Imagine your child experiencing pain from a simple wisdom tooth extraction, only for it to spiral into a devastating tragedy. This is the heartbreaking reality for Cammi Velci, who joins Merrit Hartblay on this episode of 'Recovery Road' to share her son Emilio's story.

Through her grief, Cammi has become a fierce advocate for better healthcare access and stronger support systems for families dealing with addiction. Her story isn't just about loss; it's a call to action for all of us to join the fight against the opioid epidemic and to support those affected by addiction.
