Here's the map for North America

The title for the map is: Celebrating Lost Loved Ones to the Opioid Epidemic.  One mother of a 17 year-old victim indicated that the map and format helps to keep the memory of her son alive.

[He worked with Padaric to promote the map in Canada. Both think it has a noble purpose: banishing the shame associated with addiction and humanizing people who use drugs.

Padaric admits it also helps to assuage her own grief over Austin's death.

"It's a way of maintaining that memory. I don't want him forgotten."]
