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, Ariel
Osteen to fentanyl poisoning, he will be forever 30 years old and our family is forever
changed.
Ari was a very happy kid who helped everyone he knew. He graduated from the
University of Florida, became an EMT so he could save lives. He had the biggest heart,
the most beautiful smile and he gave the best hugs! He fed the homeless and sat with
those that needed a listening ear. He had huge dreams.
I know you have three beautiful children; Ari has two other siblings that are forever
shattered by the loss of their brother, and nephews and nieces that miss him every day.
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 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 families
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 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,
Michal Osteen
Longwood, FL
