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, Jose,
who is forever 27. He was poisoned by fentanyl, and we remain devastated. We loved him
beyond imagination. Jose was the kindest and most empathetic person I have ever known.
He loved his family, music, the beach and to be around friends.
I know you have children and know the love a mother has for their child. Would you 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 Jose frame, below. 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.
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,
Leslia Collins
Orlando, FL
