Amanda Tomaras - Lost a brother to drug addiction (Video)

Amanda Tomaras and her brothers Trent and Curtis were born and raised on the Southside of Lethbridge.

Amanda is 32 years young and raises three boys with her husband still in the community. Currently, Amanda is a stay at home mom, but soon will be enrolling in some upgrading this fall with the intentions of becoming a nurse.

 

Amanda comes onto Connecting Your Community to share her story about the sudden loss of her brother, Curtis to addictions. Curtis was a kind, loving and amazing human. A father, a friend, a brother and a spouse. Despite the addiction that took Curtis' life, this by no means defines or takes away his love for life. 

 

This podcast will highlight Amanda's story as a sister to a loved one struggling with addictions while also highlighting Curtis' journey. May we continue to stand together as those with loved ones struggling in the darkness of addiction but for those who have lost someone, may we continue to celebrate their lives.
