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

Dear First Lady Teresa Parson,
I am an Ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall campaign. My son, Austin
Daniel Yancey, my only child, died August 13, 2020, from a pill he thought was Percocet,
but it was laced with fentanyl. He was 25 years old.
He graduated from high school and attended college for two years. He was employed. He
attended church regularly. He was well mannered. He treated people with respect, and he
was a good-hearted person. He was the light of my life. Now that he is gone, my
existence has changed. I am devastated and my world is not as bright.
I, however, want to spread the word that drug cartels are adding fentanyl to Percocet,
Oxycodone, Xanax and many more drugs. They are advertising these drugs on social
media and delivering the drugs to people’s houses knowing these drugs are killing people.
Young people should learn from their mistakes, not die from them.
I am asking you to assist me and other mothers who have lost their child/children to
fentanyl poisoning. We would like to find a permanent location for a Drug Epidemic
Memorial Wall within the Missouri State Capitol complex. We have created two Memorial
Walls, one with photos and one with names. These digital walls and albums update
automatically. We would also like the photos displayed in hard copy format.
We would like our loved ones to be treated like the victims they are.
There’s a group of Missouri moms that would love to meet with you and work together to
prevent other losses from happening again.
Angels all together here in Missouri.
Sincerely,
Carla King - Austin’s mom; forever 25
Kansas City, Missouri
