When faced with adversary, she's always risen to the challenge. An accidental opioid overdose by her brother more than a decade ago put Amy Graves on the path to activism in Nova Scotia. She become the founder of a group called Get Prescription Drugs Off The Street. From there she ended up working in Corrections in Alberta before returning to Nova Scotia during the pandemic. One day last December, Graves started getting a bad headache that lasted more than a day. When she eventually went to hospital, she was turned away. A few hours later she came in by ambulance and was diagnosed with an aneurysm. While in hospital, she also suffered a stroke. The road to recovery has been challenging.Her friends have started a Gofundme campaign to help with essential medical equipment and transportation to and from rehabilitation services. She's still hoping to continue her education. And she's also still advocating. She's posting on her social media, including one video where she praises the doctors and nurses who saved her life. But she still feels like the Nova Scotia Healthcare system failed her. As she says, if it can happen to her, it can happen to any of us.
