A Memphis, Tennessee, woman is now raising five of her grandchildren after losing her two daughters to fentanyl just months apart.Her eldest daughter, 42-year-old Kenia Everette Wooten, was trying to turn her life around when she became addicted to drugs.“And I guess she thought building her self-esteem and having sex with guys would make her feel better about herself. She just spiraled and it just was bad,” the mom recounted.
“She hurt her ankle, real bad. In fact, I think she broke it, and then they put her on some kind of medicine,” the mom told the outlet.“That’s when she decided she could buy other people’s prescriptions,” said Diggs.“ called me, ‘Ms. Brenda, Kenia’s dead.’ I’m like, ‘What? What are you talking about?’ I’m asleep, and he’s like ‘she died. She took something and she died,'” she recalled.“I went in, and lo and behold, Kenia was on the floor.
Diggs has been left to put together the broken pieces of her family after the deadly opioid took both daughters from her. “I wish I could say that that was the first one of those stories that I’ve heard. But it’s absolutely not,” he told WREG.“They thought they were doing heroin or something else,” Fuller said. “Then what we saw is fentanyl began to infiltrate the rest of the drug supply. Counterfeit pills. Counterfeit prescription opioids.”
