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

Dear First Lady Trudi Inslee,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful son,
Layno Ramos, who is forever 15. He was poisoned by fentanyl in a fake pill (blue
M30) and we remain devastated. We loved him beyond imagination.
Layno loved watching Scooby Doo and playing video games. He loved learning and
was so curious. Layno was the kindest and most caring child. I was deported to
Mexico and so was his father when he was in kindergarten. I never saw him again.
Layno lived with his grandparents. He cared for his grandmother who was blind. In
high school Layno loved playing sports, especially football.
In 2020 school was closed because of Covid and he began hanging out with new
friends. On May 26, 2020, those so called “friends” gave him the pill that took his life.
They did not call 911. They took photos of him and shared them on social media. Then
they dumped his body in a parking lot and his grandfather found him lifeless in the
morning. I never got to say goodbye to my child or hold him. There has been no
justice.
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
Layno’s frame. 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. 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 moms would love to meet with you and work together to prevent this
from happening ever again.
Sincerely,
Lucia Figueroa
