Try and let a child actually have some input on their feelings. I\u2019m trying to be the voice for the children that cannot speak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gracie\u2019s grandparents, whom she calls Oma and Opa, have always been honest about her adoption and her parents\u2019 struggles with addiction. Along with her grandparents, Gracie has been volunteering at Smoky Mountain Harm Reduction since she was 4, and first spoke about her experiences with substance abuse loss at the organization\u2019s Night of Hope event in 2018. At age 7, she raised $637 for Smoky Mountain Harm Reduction to provide shelter for those who needed it.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Gracie spoke at the inaugural Trail of Truth National in Washington DC, the largest national memorial for substance-use related deaths, organized by Truth Pharm. Alexis Pleus, executive director of Truth Pharm, first met Gracie when she was being considered as a speaker for the event. \u201cI really feared she was too young,\u201d says Alexis. \u201cI was afraid it would be too hard on her or that it would be too scary for her. She was not having it. She wanted me to know she was 100 percent ready and capable and she had a lot to say. She is brave and assertive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alexis says that Gracie, and children like her, are crucial to the mission of Truth Pharm in terms of advocating for policy change. \u201cChildren have been incredibly impacted by this epidemic and the impacts to them are largely ignored,\u201d says Alexis. \u201cJust look at the opioid settlement dollars and where the funding is going\u2014very little has gone towards helping the kids who are left behind or who have a parent who still struggles. Gracie represents literally millions of children left behind, millions of children who are impacted in a devastating way and yet are rarely heard from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gracie\u2019s message regarding substance abuse is simple and concise. \u201cWe need money to invest in prevention,\u201d she says. \u201cPrevention is intervention. Basically, people are throwing money at the problem when it\u2019s older and they are losing more money than they would by helping and preventing that trauma at a younger age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Gracie\u2019s schedule is packed with speaking events and public appearances, she\u2019s also a rising 5th grader who is excited about her fun summer plans, especially camp. \u201cSummer is basically best friends, best friends, best friends, sleepover, sleepover, sleepover, pool, pool, pool,\u201d she says with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>Gracie credits her grandparents for providing her the support she needs to speak up. \u201cI think it\u2019s a lot about my role models, Oma and Opa, being able to encourage me and also just knowing that they have my back and knowing that I\u2019m going to be speaking for the right cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI truly believe that when you have a passion about something, especially when it\u2019s about being there and standing up for your friends, and putting others first, before even yourself, that\u2019s impressive,\u201d says Elke. \u201cGracie and her generation are the future and they will change the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>To learn more, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/TruthPharm.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TruthPharm.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I spoke to Gracie Parker on the phone in June, I was part of a busy month for the 10-year-old.
