Karen Streeter for a deeply moving conversation about her son Kai, who
tragically lost his life to a fentanyl overdose at 21 on June 6, 2024.
Falling to Freedom is the weekly podcast that confronts addiction
head-on, unpacking its root causes, devastating effects, and potential

candidly recounting his descent into addiction starting in his teens.
From vaping and marijuana to heroin and fentanyl, Kai’s story exposes
the challenges of navigating a system with scarce resources and the
deadly rise of fentanyl-laced drugs. Despite multiple overdoses and
systemic hurdles, Kai’s hope shone through, captured in his journal: “It
feels like I’m finally moving forward, God is establishing my steps
again…”
Through her faith and resilience, Karen advocates for compassion, better
youth programs, and stiffer penalties to combat the addiction crisis.
