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

Dear Mrs. Murphy,
I am a co-founder of the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful son, Benjamin,
who is forever 22, to an accidental heroin overdose in 2016. With his loss, our lives were
instantly transformed, and life was forever split into two-time spans, before and after
losing Benjamin. I want to help prevent others from experiencing the “after”. Benjamin
brought so much joy to our lives, and to the lives of so many others. The void in our hearts
and in our lives can never be filled. In Benjamin’s name, I have devoted all I have to
fighting this epidemic.
I know you are a mom to four beautiful children, in addition to your many other vital roles.
I know you can relate to the need to fight this epidemic, the stigma associated with it, as
well as the need to bolster public awareness that is needed to stop the continuous loss of
lives. Over 3,000 lives were lost in NJ just last year.
Would you assist us in finding a permanent location for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall
within our capitol, or in a prominent location in Trenton? We have created two memorial
Walls. One with photos and one with names. I am 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 a hard copy format. The
wall of names can be projected on a wall so parents can touch their loved one’s name.
We would like our loved ones to be treated like victims. They were all victims of Purdue
Pharma (an American cartel), and many, many others. Now, they are victims of the
Chinese criminal networks and the Mexican Cartels. Many are also victims of a fatal
disease like cancer. We are using the word “drugism” for the prejudice towards drug users
- like racism, A group of our New Jersey moms would love to meet with you and work
together to prevent this from happening ever again.
Sincerely,
Lou-Riva Filler
