This is a depressing post, so forgive me and feel free to skip it, but my sister overdosed two years ago today. It was devastating, and it's still devastating.
If you can, it would mean a lot to me to support @ppponline.org, who's doing such crucial harm reduction work Philly.

PPP is open tomorrow on Monday as a warming center. Clinics will be on pause, as all staff at the main building will pitch in to keep our space warm, welcoming & safe. We'll try to be open during our normal hours 9am-4pm, but ask for a bit of grace as we don't know what the roads will look like.
