PHILADELPHIA — Two weeks after her daughter died, Kim Robinson-Presley finally admitted to her husband that she needed help.
Robinson-Presley's daughter, Kimera Robinson, overdosed in February 2021. Self-effacing and bubbly, a mother of three, Kimera had been especially close with her own mother. She had struggled with a heroin addiction for years, and Robinson-Presley, who's in long-term recovery herself, helped as best she could, supporting her daughter through stints of sobriety and relapses.
In the fall of 2020, Robinson-Presley persuaded her daughter to leave Philadelphia and come home to Gettysburg. Kimera battled through withdrawal and stayed off drugs for months, reconnecting with family members and planning for the future.
