NKYHatesHeroin.Com was founded by a family who lost a loved
one to an accidental heroin overdose. Nicholas Specht had been clean for
several months, was doing well and fighting the urge to use every minute of
every day. He was a good man with a great heart. But after a really hard day,
Nicholas couldn’t fight the urge any longer and they lost him on Aug. 8,
2013. Even though this family lost
Nicholas, you don’t have to lose your loved ones and we don’t have to lose the
fight against heroin. This family wants to help you any way they can.
