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

Dear First Lady Kathy Evers,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful son,
Chance, who is forever 22. He was poisoned by heroin & meth, and we remain
devastated. We loved him beyond imagination. Chance was the kindest and most
empathetic person I have ever known.
I know you have children and grandchildren. 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 Chance’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 our Wisconsin moms would love to meet with you and work together to prevent
this from happening ever again.
Sincerely,
Jacky Kessel, mother of Chance Simmons, forever 22
