Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes: Dusting Challenge

“She spent the next seven days in the ICU. She never regained consciousness,” Dana O’Rourke said. “We don’t have children to bury them.”

As they do their best to cope with the loss, the O’Rourke family is finding some comfort in knowing Renna O’Rourke was able to help others through organ donation.

“She gave so much to so many in her short time here and went out the same way,” said Dana O’Rourke.

Renna O’Rourke’s mother shared a message for parents in hopes of preventing future families from suffering the same pain.

“Don’t take your kids word for it. Dig deep. Search their rooms. Don’t trust, and that sounds horrible, but it could save their life,” she said.

Dusting is different than another popular and easily accessible drug known as whippets, but it’s not the same kind of chemicals in the gas.

Weisman said both are equally unsafe. He encourages parents to have conversations with their kids about the dangers of abusing common household products.

A GoFundMe has been started to help pay for medical bills and burial expenses.
