Dear Governor Laura Kelly,
Kebra Griffith was poisoned by illicit fentanyl disguised as a pressed Percocet pill on
February 26, 2022. Kebra was an honor student and studied pre-med, but life threw her a
curve in 2019 that led her down a destructive path for nine months. She fought hard and
managed to overcome that. Unfortunately, she had a trigger while giving birth when she
received fentanyl following a c-section in December 2021. She felt she would be labeled if
she told them about her substance abuse in the past and suffering from postpartum, so
she didn’t say anything.
Unfortunately, she reached out to a friend who knew someone that sold her the fake pill
that was pure fentanyl. She died in her room in my home leaving behind her two-monthold
daughter.
Fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction. It is not an addict-only issue. It affects all walks
of life and all ages. I was one of the parents that thought it would never happen to my
child. Unfortunately, I was dead wrong.
We need more education in schools and law enforcement. We also need to continue to
bring awareness to this opioid crisis that is now being driven by fentanyl. Will you assist
us in getting a Memorial Wall put up in our State Capitol complex?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Misty Griffith – Kebra’s mom; forever 28
