![JT Farrell, 32, rests near a warm sewer grate after using fentanyl on Larkin Street outside of City Hall on Thursday, Jan. 13, 2022 in San Francisco, California. JT got up moments later, ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and consented to his photograph being used in the newspaper and for an article. Farrell, an unhoused person who uses fentanyl, hangs around in the Tenderloin during the day but says he finds it too dangerous at night, so he sleeps near Civic Center. Black San Franciscans, like J.T., have been particularly harmed by the city’s overdose epidemic. In 2021, Black people were almost six times more likely to die of accidental overdoses than the average resident.The fentanyl use in San Francisco has become a public health crisis with several people dying daily and dozens more being reversed from overdoses. The sight of a young person strung out from fentanyl on the street is far too common.]()

![Laurie Steves cries out of frustration after several unsuccessful attempts to find her homeless daughter Jessica Didia (not pictured) in the Tenderloin on Monday, May 24, 2021 in San Francisco, California. Laurie’s son Zachary died last December of a drug overdose and her daughter Jessica has been homeless and addicted to drugs in San Francisco for a decade. The death of her son propelled her to try and save her daughter. Laurie packed up her apartment in Port Orchard, Washington and moved to San Francisco with the idea that she would stay there for “as long as it takes” to help Jessica. To save her daughter’s life, Laurie Steves gave up her own. She left a suburb of Seattle with one goal: reaching San Francisco to save Jessica DiDia, the 34-year-old daughter she hadn’t seen in nearly a decade. Laurie didn’t know much about Jessica’s life now, but she knew she was homeless in the Tenderloin and addicted to fentanyl and had escaped death from overdosing many times. Laurie, 56, couldn’t lose another child. Jessica’s little brother, Zachary, had died alone in December after overdosing on fentanyl and ketamine. He was just 25. Laurie drove with Zachary’s ashes by her side. “I talk to him sometimes,” she said. “I just tell him how much I miss him and how much I know he wanted me to save Jess. And I’m doing it.” Laurie dreamed of leaving San Francisco with Jessica in the passenger seat, ready to enter rehab. But she didn’t know what she was up against: the perilous collision of a city wholly unprepared to address its fentanyl crisis and the heartbreaking pull of addiction.]()
