Florida Letters for First Lady Casey DeSantis

Dear First Lady Casey DeSantis,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful son,
Mathew on July 19, 2022, he is forever 20. He was poisoned by fentanyl, and we are all
devastated. Mathew was a very happy kid who would do anything to put a smile on
someone’s face, he also had the most beautiful smile. He had to fight from day one he
was born, congenital heart defect had open heart surgery at 10 days old. He then had to
have repeat open-heart surgery at five and then again at 18. He wanted to get married and
have a family.
I know you have three beautiful children; I have five, Mathew has 4 other siblings that are
forever shattered by the loss of their brother. This letter is to kindly ask you to assist us in
finding a permanent location for a Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall within our Capitol.
We have created two memorial Walls, one with photos and one with names. I am
including Mathew’s frame, below. I am also including the brochure of virtual memorial
walls, albums, and our awareness campaign.These digital walls and albums update
automatically. We would also like the photos displayed in hard copy format. The wall of
names can be projected on a wall so parents can touch their loved one's name. We would
like our loved ones to be treated like victims. They were all victims of Purdue Pharma (an
American cartel) and many, many others. Now, they are victims of Chinese and the
Mexican Cartels. Many are also victims of fatal diseases like cancer. We are using the
word “drugism” for the prejudice toward drug users - like racism.
A group of our Florida moms would love to meet with you and work together to prevent this
from happening ever again.
Sincerely,
Crystal Hoozer
New Berry, FL
