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

Dear First Lady Marty Kemp,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful
20-year-old son, Dalton, on August 4, 2020, to fentanyl poisoning. He was my
only child, and his absence is felt every day. Dalton leaves behind a young
daughter who now must grow up without the love and guidance of her father.
Unfortunately, there are similar stories happening everyday across the state
and nation. We are losing an entire generation of Americans. Like my son, so
many of the victims are young and unaware that they are ingesting lethal
fentanyl.
As mothers, we must do everything we can to raise awareness and prevent
other Georgians from experiencing this life altering heartache. Lives are being
destroyed as we speak, and time is of the essence. Can I count on your
support? 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 Dalton’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 families can touch their loved one's name.
A group of Georgia moms would love to meet with you and work together on
this project to raise awareness and prevent this from happening to other
Georgia families.
Sincerely,
Wanda and Ray Gallops
Columbus, Georgia
