A Kennett Square father who lost his 23-year-old daughter to a heroin overdose earlier this year is continuing his quest to raise awareness about the dangers of this readily available drug.<\/p>\n

The latest outreach from Andy Rumford, who started Kacie\u2019s Cause earlier this year, is a support group for parents of addicted children. Rumford\u2019s \u00a023-year-old daughter, Kacie Erin Rumford, died in March, and since then, he and a group of supporters have been holding town hall meetings and disseminating literature \u00a0in an effort to prevent similar tragedies.<\/p>\n

The support group will begin on Thursday, Nov. 7. It will convene weekly from 7 to 9 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 415 W. State St., Kennett Square.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis weekly support group is for parents whose families are impacted by alcohol, substance abuse, and related behaviors of their children,\u201d a news release explained.\u00a0 \u201cThis is a sharing group of parents that provides a confidential and safe place for finding resources, support, encouragement, and above all \u2013 hope.\u201d<\/p>\n
