The more time my daughter is away from drugs and her addiction (6 months), the more she starts to open up to me.

My latest conversation with her, which I share with her permission, is not only heartbreaking, but infuriating.
She shared this today:

Last year, she was living in an all women SLE and was working toward creating a better life for herself. She had 3 months of sobriety.

Sam got Covid and at that time, protocol was to send people living in SLE’s to a Project Room Key Motel.
What my daughter experienced in that Project Room Key motel is horrific.

“Mom, there were drugs everywhere. People up all night screaming and fighting. Prostitutes and pimps would be walking in the halls. It was bad.”

She relapsed in that Project Room Key motel in Oakland.
She says there are a number of days she was there that she can’t even remember.

We found her in a RV/encampment/drug scene days later. She weighed less than 100 lbs. She was at her worst.

I hope she NEVER recalls what happened to her in those days she can’t remember.
Sam is 6 months clean and sober now.

No thanks to @CAgovernor for this “housing” project.

She is one of the lucky ones to have escaped #ProjectRoomKey

As her mom, I am heartbroken 💔

I think more people need to understand what these Open Drug Markets/Scenes REALLY are.

These are not people simply “down on their luck”. We are talking about people IN CRISIS with severe drug addiction and mental illness.

Literally surrounded by drug dealers peddling death.
These open drug scenes are VIOLENT.

Citizens are being traumatized by the crime/health hazards/ death that comes with these scenes.

Beatings and rapes occur on a regular basis.

Addicts suffering with no hope or help from their city and state leaders.
If you are lucky enough to escape these Open Drug Scenes, the trauma will most likely last a lifetime.

My daughter’s testimony would bring you to your knees.

I have asked @GavinNewsom to listen to us and take steps to SHUT DOWN THE OPEN DRUG MARKETS.
