Founder's Note
My name is Levi Schaner, and Fent Prevent was born from loss and is driven by purpose. Fentanyl hides behind pills that look safe, moments that feel harmless and decisions that are made too quickly. One choice can end a life and change a family forever. I started Fent Prevent so teens hear the truth before it's too late. This work is about protecting lives, sharing real stories, and making sure no family has to experience a loss that could have been prevented.

Our Story
Fent Prevent was created from a deeply personal loss. I lost my cousin, Eli Weinstock, to an accidental fentanyl overdose. Eli was a sophomore in college with his whole life ahead of him. Eli didn’t know that the legal herbal supplement he took was laced with fentanyl. He didn’t think that one choice could cost him his life, and neither did many other teens. That’s the scary part. Today, fentanyl is showing up in pills and drugs that look normal or harmless.
​​
As the founder of Fent Prevent, I am committed to helping teens understand the risks that are hidden behind what can seem like “just one pill,” “just one sip,” or “just one puff.” This isn’t about fear or lectures. It’s about making sure people our age have the facts
before it's too late. If Fent Prevent helps even one person make a safer choice, then Eli’s story matters, and this work matters.
