Forever 29 is dedicated to honoring the life of Emily Ann Bunner by raising awareness about the devastating impact of addiction and fentanyl.
Our mission is to provide resources and support for single parents battling addiction. Through education, outreach, and community partnerships, we strive to create a safer future for families affected by substance abuse.
The Forever 29 Foundation was established by the family of Emily Bunner, who died from accidental fentanyl overdose on March15, 2024. She was just 29 years old with two young children. Emily was a mother, a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, and an aunt. She was silly, witty, bright and creative. But she was also someone struggling with her mental health and Substance Use Disorder. And she was certainly not alone!
In 2024, there were 80,391 deaths from overdose. That number is equivalent to one major airplane crash EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR where everyone on board died! And of the people who died on these planes, they would have left behind family – mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters. That’s devastating loss and one that would garner a lot of attention. The number of people who died from lung cancer and breast cancer together last year is 51,680 , still well below the number of deaths from overdose, and these cancer deaths bring sympathetic supporters. Fatal overdoses are essentially wiping out a generation. Overdose remains the leading cause of deaths for Americans ages 18 to 44!
This foundation aims to stop the stigma around people with this disease while providing resources for harm reduction, mental health and rehab services, especially aimed at single parents.
At the Forever 29 Foundation, we are committed to helping individuals and families affected by addiction find hope, healing, and direction.
We provide a safe, judgment-free space for individuals to share their stories and connect with someone who truly listens. Compassion is at the heart of everything we do.
From rehab referrals to aftercare programs, we connect individuals with trusted recovery centers, mental health professionals, and housing assistance tailored to their needs.
Addiction affects entire families. Our programs help parents, children, and loved ones navigate recovery together through counseling, workshops, and peer support.
