USA First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff

Dear First Lady Kathy Evers,
I lost my beautiful son, Daniel, who is forever 34. He was poisoned by fentanyl, and we
continue to be devastated by his loss. He was loved by so many. Danny was an amazing,
talented, and loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, grandson, and friend to many. He died
on December 24th, 2021. Our holidays will never be the same. My son had goals and
dreams to fulfill. One of Danny’s goals was to become a homeowner. This is a goal he
achieved two years before he died, and he was so very proud to say he was officially a
homeowner! It breaks my heart that there are so many things we will never be able to do
together. Danny suffered from depression along with headaches and neck pain. He went
to the streets and purchased a Xanax which was laced with Fentanyl which ultimately
resulted in his death. Fentanyl stole him from me. I am now his voice, and I am
committed to doing all I can to combat the threat of fentanyl and honor our children.
I know you have children and grandchildren. Would you assist us in finding a significant
building or room in our Capitol for a Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall? We have created two
memorial walls: one with photos and one with names. I am including Daniel'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
criminal networks 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 Wisconsin moms would love to meet with you and work together to prevent this
from happening ever again.
Sincerely,
Sharon Sopa, mother of Daniel Sopa
