💛 Help Us Fill Our Gold Ribbon Wall of Hope! 🎗️

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and Stone County Health Department is GOING GOLD for Hayden and every child who has battled childhood cancer.

We invite our entire community to stop by the Health Department throughout September and help us fill our Gold Ribbon Wall of Hope.

🎗️ Add the name of a child who has fought or is fighting childhood cancer.
💛 Honor a survivor.
🕊️ Remember a precious angel.
✍️ Or simply leave a message of hope, love, prayer or encouragement for children and families walking this difficult journey.

You don't have to personally know a child affected by cancer to participate. Every name matters. Every message matters. Every child matters.

Our hope is that by the end of September, our wall will be overflowing with GOLD. A beautiful reminder to these families that they are seen, they are remembered, and their community stands beside them.

Honor the fighters.
Remember the angels.
Celebrate the survivors.
Support the families.
Fund the fight.

We Go Gold for Hayden. We Go Gold for ALL of Them. 🎗️

Behind every overdose is a person.

A parent. A child. A sibling. A friend. A neighbor. Someone deeply loved.

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost, stand beside the families and friends who carry their memory, and remind those still fighting that recovery is possible.

Their lives mattered. Their stories matter. And if you are still here, please know: your story isn’t over.

Together, we can end the stigma, prevent overdose, carry hope and save lives.

Naloxone is available at the Stone County Health Department. For more information, call 417-272-0050
