Victoria’s Voice was born from the tragic loss of David and Jackie Siegel’s daughter Victoria to a drug overdose in 2015. Since then, David and Jackie have committed to turning the tragedy of Victoria’s death into a national platform for drug awareness and prevention and saving lives from overdose.
The Siegels effectively advocated for the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) signed into law on July 22, 2016. This was the first major federal addiction legislation in 40 years and the most comprehensive effort yet to address the opioid epidemic. Its passing laid the groundwork for a coordinated national response.
Since David and Jackie founded Victoria’s Voice in 2019, more than 800,000 parents, educators and children have been positively impacted by the foundation’s educational programming.
