This is where our journey begins. Get to know our story and why we became about.

 

On December 5, 2024; Lucas Taylor Andrews was found unresponsive in his bathroom at home in Smyrna, TN. It was an accidental overdose, and his girlfriend, Ana knew that she had to do something about the drug epidemic in our area. 

 

On January 4, 2025 which would have been Lucas' 39th birthday, Ana decided to start the Lucas Andrews Foundation in hopes to prevent another life lost at the hand of fentanyl. At the foundation, we strive to empower recovery, and enrich lives.

 

At the Lucas Andrews Foundation, we believe that every individual deserves a second chance to have to live a fulfilling life, free from the grip of addiction. Our mission is to provide comprehensive education and training programs that foster hope, resilience, and transformation. We strive to create a community that uplifts and inspires those struggling with addiction to discover their strength, rebuild their lives and thrive. 

 

Guided by passion, driven by hope, and committed to excellence, we aim to:

·  Provide accessible, evidence based education and training that addresses the root causes of addiction.

·  Foster a culture of empathy, understanding and non-judgmental support.

·  Empower individuals to take control of their recovery journey to become people of positive change.

·  Collaborate with community partners to ensure a seamless continuum of care.

 

Together we can break the cycle of addiction and unlock the potential of individuals, families and communities to heal, grow and thrive.
