Dear <strong>First</strong> <strong>Lady</strong> <strong>Casey</strong> <strong>DeSantis</strong>,<br />
My name is Cindy Dodds. My son Kyle Cole Dodds was poisoned by fentanyl flowing<br />
across our southern border and through USPS. As an ambassador <strong>for</strong> the Drug Epidemic<br />
Memorial Walls, I am asking if you would help us find a permanent location within our<br />
Capitol here in <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>for</strong> the Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall. There are two walls, one<br />
with photos and one with names including our beloved and so missed Kyle Cole Dodds<br />
(24).<br />
Included with this letter is Kyle’s frame, and a brochure of the virtual walls, albums, and<br />
our awareness campaign. These virtual walls update automatically. It would be<br />
awesome if we could display the photos in hard copy as well. The intention is to have the<br />
wall of names projected onto a wall so that parents and loved ones can touch the name of<br />
the person lost to this horrible epidemic. All these names were victims first of Purdue<br />
Pharma (an American cartel) and many, many others. But ultimately, they are victims of<br />
Chinese and Mexican cartels, as you know.<br />
Mrs. <strong>DeSantis</strong>, we are an army of devastated moms, dads, sisters, brothers, etc. The<br />
strongest group are us moms, like you and me. We are reaching out to all our first ladies<br />
across America. Because I know you have already been involved in stopping this murder<br />
across <strong>Florida</strong>, I am reaching out to you personally <strong>for</strong> your help.<br />
Losing a son is something you cannot understand, and I am thankful <strong>for</strong> that. Even though<br />
you try to prepare yourself <strong>for</strong> it when your child is caught in addiction, you can’t. Our Kyle<br />
is with Jesus and doing great, but we remain committed to honoring his life by saving<br />
others. Please help us with this. Education really is the best way. Last year in Orlando,<br />
we had an art exhibit at the Museum of History of 41 loved ones lost to addiction. The<br />
artist drew pictures of all our sons/daughters. It was staggering to see and hear how it<br />
impacted the public. Some walked away in tears reading the life stories and some asked<br />
great questions and were educated. This is how I see the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls<br />
going.<br />
Thank you <strong>for</strong> your time. From one mom’s heart to another…<br />
Cindy Dodds<br />
