Out of the Ashes Organization is a family-based Non-Profit established in 2023. Knowing firsthand how Illicit Fentanyl can change lives, President and CEO Amber Royer has made it her goal to share her experience by trying to save as many lives as possible.
Amber was born in Riverside, California. Coming from a broken and abusive home Amber sought refuge outside of her own. As a teenager, she was quickly introduced to methamphetamine and spiraled into active use and addiction for many years. Being an active addict and living on and off the streets for many years, the loss of her father on November 1st, 1993 was a wake-up call and shock to Amber. She was in another state and was not there for the most important man in her life. November 11th, 1993 Amber decided to turn her life around. She stopped using and gave her life to God. She made a change and moved back to Hemet, where she married her husband in 1999 and raised her family in a small community working in Healthcare and served the public for over 25 years. Active in many organizations and entities throughout her lifetime, Amber continues to remain focused on faith, family, and community.
In December 2014 Amber first experienced a significant loss when her home flooded and was declared uninhabitable after a natural disaster in the town of San Jacinto. Six months later the passing of her childhood sweetheart and husband seemed like the end of the world, till she held her mother’s hand that November as she moved onto her Heavenly home.
By spreading awareness and providing education on the risks associated with fentanyl and other dangerous drugs, Out of the Ashes organization aims to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Through harm reduction strategies, they seek to minimize the negative impact of substance use and support those in need of help. Their focus on youth intervention underscores the importance of early intervention and support for young individuals who may be vulnerable to substance abuse.
By challenging the stigma surrounding overdose and addiction, Out of the Ashes encourages open discussions and compassion towards those affected by these issues. They recognize the role of social media in shaping perceptions and behaviors related to drug use, highlighting the need for responsible online engagement and accurate information dissemination.
In today’s ever-evolving drug landscape, the organization emphasizes the potential dangers of drug-induced homicides and the importance of vigilance in recognizing and reporting suspicious activities. Through their multifaceted approach, Out of the Ashes is dedicated to creating a safer, more informed community where individuals feel supported and empowered to make positive choices.
