Following the loss of her son Austen, who died from fentanyl poisoning in 2019, April launched Lost Voices of Fentanyl in 2021 when she saw a lack of urgency of elected officials on the state and federal levels.

Working full-time to support her work as an advocate, April has built a movement that has played a central role in raising awareness, and changing policy. She has testified on multiple occasions for stronger legal consequences for fentanyl distribution and lobbied lawmakers directly. Her work helped pass the HALT Fentanyl Act without amendments. Since the establishment of LVOF, she has advocated for designating Mexican cartels terrorist organizations, calling fentanyl a “poison,” and ending the de minimis loophole.

LVOF's victim impact banners display 56 faces of fentanyl victims on each banner. To date, over 50 banners have been created, honoring thousands of lives. April also manages the largest Fentanyl Focus Facebook group (36,000 members) dedicated to addressing supply issues.

April conducts direct outreach in Kensington, Philadelphia, connecting with people affected by addiction and distributing resources.

She was featured in People magazine's "Women Changing the World,” and has appeared multiple other outlets, including Fox News, Newsmax, Real America's Voice, NTD, as well local news stations. She has also appeared in documentaries and podcasts.

Through press conferences, testimony, and nationwide events, Lost Voices of Fentanyl drives change and works to prevent other families from experiencing similar losses.
