Maryland Woman Dies from Inhalant Addiction

Via WUSA9 in Washington, D.C.:

A young Maryland woman recently lost the fight to inhalant addiction when she was found dead behind a Walmart store in West Palm Beach, Florida, last month.

The 28-year-old from Annapolis, MD, was described as an "extroverted young woman who loved to laugh," and be surrounded by friends. She was first introduced to inhalants by an ex-boyfriend, but later became addicted and went through several rounds of treatment at facilities in both Virginia and Florida. In July, the young woman stopped answering phone calls and texts and eventually passed away from huffing.

Her family is dedicated to spreading knowledge on inhalant abuse and increasing awareness in communities across the country. They are currently accepting donations for the Malia's Fund, which will provide grants to non-profit organizations dedicated to addressing the disease of addiction.
