Through raw and unflinching verse, Paloma R. Fernandes honors the memory of her goddaughter Casey, a young woman whose life was cut short by an opioid overdose. The poem weaves themes of mental health, stigma, systemic bias, and the human cost of the opioid crisis, holding grief and hope in a single breath.

Each line bears witness to Casey’s struggle, to the beauty she carried, and to the unspoken truths too often ignored. This is poetry that does not look away, speaking directly to families, communities, and anyone who has ever loved someone lost to substance use disorder.

Every purchase of this book supports United Communities Corp. (U.C.C.), a nonprofit dedicated to community care, recovery, and advocacy. Proceeds will help create a fund for children who lose their parents or caregivers to overdose — offering emotional support, stability, and opportunities for a brighter future.

Each copy sold provides real support for families in crisis, fueling programs of support, stability, and hope for the future. This isn’t just a book — it’s a lifeline. The responsibility is ours, together, and it starts with you.

Your choice to buy this book may save lives.

Partner With Us: Share Space for Community Connections

United Communities partners with organizations, businesses, and community spaces to activate shared spaces in ways that expand access, connection, and community engagement.

We work directly with people who are often underserved or harder to reach, including individuals and families who face language, cultural, or system-navigation barriers. Through our work, we help connect people to services and supports they might not otherwise access — and we bring that reach into the spaces we partner with.

If you have a space that could be available for scheduled or occasional use, we welcome the opportunity to explore how it might be used in ways that support your goals and expand access for the communities you serve.

Examples of how shared spaces are often used include:

• Meeting rooms for support groups or small gatherings
• Large indoor spaces for sports or movement-based activities
• Rooms with tables for expressive arts or creative work
• Conference or training spaces for workshops and community learning
• Other uses based on the space, the community, and shared ideas

Partnering with United Communities helps activate spaces with purpose, reach people across languages, cultures, and backgrounds, and strengthen connections between community spaces and the people they aim to serve.

UCC CONNECTIONS NETWORK

The United Communities Network is not an open directory, referral list, or sign-up group.

It is a relationship-based network built through trust, accountability, and direct collaboration. Every individual, organization, and resource listed within the United Communities Network reflects an existing relationship with United Communities Corp. (UCC). These are people and entities we know, work with, and continue to engage with in real ways.

If you become part of our network through genuine collaboration, you will be included in our Linktree directory so community members can easily find and connect with trusted supports. We are also developing a dedicated resource page where our network partners will be listed in one place to help people locate services, guidance, and community connections.

This network exists because relationships exist—not because applications were submitted.

If you are an organization or practitioner interested in building a relationship with United Communities Corp. and being listed as a trusted support resource, you may use the button below to request consideration.
