A Golden Valley couple is making wood carvings to generate funds for groups raising awareness of opioid dangers.
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — In the last couple of weeks, some good news came out about overdose deaths. They are declining, rapidly in some states. That deserves our attention.
But what needs our attention too, is that there are not zero deaths. The news remains grim.
In the heat of the moment thousands and thousands of times a young person takes a pill to take the edge off, and not knowing what’s in it, dies. That’s what happened to a young man named Adam. And his parents in Golden Valley are doing all they can to keep other parents from facing the future they face.
They are carving items from wood that other woodworkers wouldn’t touch and making it beautiful. They make carvings, vases, menorahs, bowls and everything in between. The work is called Art of the Heart, and it’s sold for a profit they see none of.
All of the money goes to Change the Outcome, an organization that educates kids about the dangers of opioids.
The Michaelynns are holding their annual sale at their Golden Valley home from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The address is 500 Valleywood Circle.
