                    Meet our founder Lisa Bolton.

I have three angels guiding me every day. DJ entered and left this world on November 7th, 1989. 1 in 4 children is lost due to infant and pregnancy loss. DJ was 1 in 4. 

Quinn, my stepdaughter, but just as much "my daughter" died on September 23rd, 2015, from Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis.

                    Meet our founder Lisa Bolton.

I have three angels guiding me every day. DJ entered and left this world on November 7th, 1989. 1 in 4 children is lost due to infant and pregnancy loss. DJ was 1 in 4. 

Quinn, my stepdaughter, but just as much "my daughter" died on September 23rd, 2015, from Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis. 1 in 4 people die from this disorder. Quinn was 1 in 4. She was 18.

Then on January 19th, 2019, my life forever changed when my beautiful daughter, my best friend, Kerri, succumbed to her addiction, overdosing on heroin laced with fentanyl and carfentanil. Kerri was 26 years old. Her story and its tragic ending are now something I share every chance I get. Kerri wanted to share awareness and promote empathy. I will finish that for her. Approximately 300 lives are lost every day to SUD. Kerri was one of those lives lost. 

But more needs to be done. I need that: something to honor all of my children - my angels. However, I also need to stay true to my purpose. And so The Dandelion Project took "root"...
