 HONORING NATALIA SHEVTSOVA'S COMMITMENT TO COMBATING THE OPIOID CRISIS

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 24, 2024

  Ms. CRAIG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Natalia Shevtsova, who 
worked in partnership with her peers to put together a Fight Back 
Against Fentanyl PSA.
  Natalia is from St. Paul, Minnesota. Her sister, Anastasia, loved 
playing the piano, singing, painting and drawing.
  On April 20, 2022, Natalia lost her sister, Anastasia, to fentanyl 
poisoning. She purchased what she thought was Percocet marketed by a 
dealer. Those pills turned out to contain fentanyl.
  Anastasia was 15 years old.
  The Devin Norring Foundation, in partnership with Natalia, produced 
an impactful and heartfelt PSA to fight back against fentanyl. In 
turning her grief into activism, Natalia has shown strength and courage 
beyond her years. I am proud to have her as an ally in this fight 
against the fentanyl crisis.
  I thank Natalia for sharing Anastasia's story and demonstrating a 
commitment to combating the opioid crisis.
