As state and city leaders grapple with how to save hundreds of lives to drug overdoses in the Bay Area, two East Bay moms are doing something about it.
Michelle Leopold and April Rovero both lost their sons to an overdose. And both mothers are working to do something about the pain they feel at such a loss.
"If my son had had Narcan on hand, he would have survived," Rovero said as she held up packages of Narcan."He didn't have that much in his system. It didn't take that much for him." "You spray it up the nose. You still need to call 9-1-1, because this is just a stop-gap measure. But this can save a life during an overdose," she said during the training.
