Dear Governor Kathy Hochul,<br />

I am an ambassador for the <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful daughter,<br />

Am<strong>and</strong>a, who is forever 20. She was poisoned by drugs, <strong>and</strong> we remain devastated. We<br />

loved her beyond imagination. Am<strong>and</strong>a was <strong>and</strong> is the kindest <strong>and</strong> most empathetic<br />

person I have ever known.<br />

I know you have children <strong>and</strong> gr<strong>and</strong>children. Would you assist us in finding a permanent<br />

location for a <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial Wall within our Capitol? We have created two<br />

memorial walls: one with photos <strong>and</strong> one with names. I am including Am<strong>and</strong>a's frame<br />

below. These digital walls <strong>and</strong> albums update automatically. We would also like the photos<br />

displayed in hard copy format. The wall of names can be projected on a wall so parents<br />

can touch their loved one's name.<br />

We cannot allow drugs to take our loved ones. I believe it is murder, <strong>and</strong> we would like our<br />

loved ones to be treated like victims. They were all victims of Purdue Pharma (an<br />

American cartel) <strong>and</strong> many, many others. Now, they are victims of Chinese criminal<br />

networks <strong>and</strong> the Mexican cartels. Many are also victims of fatal diseases like cancer. We<br />

are using the word “drugism” for the prejudice toward drug users - like racism.<br />

A group of our New York moms would love to meet with you <strong>and</strong> work together to prevent<br />

this from happening ever again.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Leslie Brill, mother of Am<strong>and</strong>a Lynn Wienckowski<br />

Buffalo, NY<br />
