Dear Governor Gretchen Whitmer,
I am an ambassador and the MI State Lead for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall. On October
28, 2021, my life was forever changed. I lost my precious, first born, son Brandon at the young
age of 28. Brandon was a Godly, loving, caring, compassionate, giving man with a huge heart.
He lit up a room and his smile warmed my heart. He was poisoned to death with 100%
fentanyl. He did not stand a chance. He died alone. He struggled with SUD and had been in a
few rehabs trying to beat his addiction. He lived in MI but lost his battle in CA while in rehab. He
never stopped fighting and wanted more than anything to beat his addiction. I think the death of
his sister 38 days prior was too much for him and was a big part in him relapsing. He was a
God fearing, genuine, loving, person. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hiking, snowboarding. He
truly was my best friend not just my son.
The day he died my heart shattered into pieces. My worst fear became a reality. The pain is
unbearable, and I will never forget the phone call that he was gone. A big part of me died that
day. I miss him so much and have decided to turn my pain and grief into purpose, spreading
awareness in hopes I can help save lives. This was Brandon’s mission to help others. He
wanted to help and serve others, but his life was cut short because of this poison being brought
in from the open borders. You should not have to die from a bad decision. So, I have decided to
honor him by continuing his fight. I will be his voice. I will say his name and fight for others, so
they are not victims like my son. We are seeking your support in areas of awareness and a
more conscious effort and response to the overwhelming statistics of death by the drug
epidemic in the state of Michigan. As of May 2023, there are over 1900 deaths in Michigan
within the first 5 months of this year. We need to bring attention to this and ask for action to be
taken to bring awareness to the public that we so desperately seek.
As a parent we are asking that the Capitol be willing to create and share a version of the
Memorial Wall, like the wall in DC. We have created two Memorial walls. One with photos and
one with names. I am including Brandon’s frame below. I am also including the brochure of
Memorial walls, albums, and our awesome campaign. These digital walls and albums update
automatically. We would like the photos displayed in hard copy format. The wall of names could
be projected on a wall so parents could touch their loved one’s name. We would like our loved
ones to be treated as victims. They were all victims of Purdue Pharma (the American Cartel)
and many many others.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Elmaksoud, MI State Lead
