Dear <strong>First</strong> <strong>Gentleman</strong> Marlos Reis,<br />

My name is Rachael Wels, the mother of Aaron Garza forever 37. I lost my<br />

beautiful son, Aaron, who was not just my son. He was a father to 4 sons who<br />

are now left fatherless for the rest of their lives. My son was murdered by fentanyl<br />

given to him by someone he trusted. Aaron was loved by all those who knew him.<br />

Aaron had many talents. He was a tattoo artist, mechanically inclined, a wizard<br />

with computers as well as many other talents he had taught himself.<br />

Please underst<strong>and</strong> that we are all mothers, fathers, siblings, <strong>and</strong> children that are<br />

left to pick up the pieces of our loved ones whose lives have been lost to this<br />

horrible epidemic. We are trying to find a home for those in Colorado, who are<br />

now a memory. Would you assist us in finding a permanent location for a <strong>Dr</strong>ug<br />

Epidemic Memorial Wall within our Capitol? We have created two memorial<br />

Walls. One with photos <strong>and</strong> one with names. I am including Aaron’s frame, below.<br />

I am also including the brochure of virtual memorial walls, albums, <strong>and</strong> our<br />

awareness campaign.<br />

These digital walls <strong>and</strong> albums update automatically. We would also like the<br />

photos displayed in hard copy format. The wall of names can be projected on a<br />

wall so parents can touch their loved one's name. We would like our loved ones<br />

to be treated like victims. They were all victims of Purdue Pharma (an American<br />

cartel) <strong>and</strong> many, many others. Now, they are victims of Chinese <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Mexican Cartels. Many are also victims of fatal diseases like cancer. We are<br />

using the word “drugism” for the prejudice toward drug users - like racism.<br />

A group of our Colorado families would love to meet with you <strong>and</strong> work together<br />

to prevent this from happening <strong>and</strong> continue to raise awareness so that others<br />

may never have to experience what we have experienced.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Rachael Wels<br />

Aaron’s Mama<br />

Denver, CO<br />
