Nathaniel’s Light Foundation is dedicated to honoring the life of 10-year-old Nathaniel Angel Castro Mendoza by raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl, supporting affected families, and advocating for stronger laws to protect children. Through education, outreach, and legal reform, we aim to turn grief into action and ensure no other family faces the same tragedy.
Our Mission
Nathaniel Light Law - Our Proposal
Nathaniel's Light Law targets adults who bring deadly drugs like fentanyl into homes where children live. If a child dies or is harmed due to exposure, this law ensures felony accountability regardless of intent.
​
This isn't just about dealers, it's about safety in the home .
"We lost our son 10 years old. Our son Nathaniel was exposed. He was home, supposed to be safe.
Now, we fight to make sure no other family suffers the same pain."
