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

Dear First Partner Siebel Newsom,
I lost my handsome son, Christopher, to Fentanyl poisoning eight months ago. He is
forever 29 years old. He is deeply missed by so many. His love for his family, his
humor, his passion, and his personality were one of a kind and his death has left a
huge hole in our hearts. We are truly devastated by this tragedy. Christopher is by
far not the only young person who has fallen victim to this drug. There are
numerous stories like his.
Parents all over the world have come together. We have created two memorial
walls: one with photos, and one with names, to honor those who have lost their lives
due to this drug. I am including Christopher’s frame in this letter, along with a
brochure of virtual memorial walls, albums, and our awareness campaign. These
digital walls and albums update automatically, and we would also like the photos
displayed in hard copy format.
We believe that our loved ones should be treated like victims of a weapon of mass
destruction. They were all victims of Purdue Pharma, Chinese and Mexican cartels.
Our group of California moms would love to meet with you and work together to
prevent this from happening ever again.
We urge you to help us find a permanent location for the Drug Epidemic Memorial
Wall within our capital. Our goal is to raise awareness about the devastating effects
of drug addiction and the dangers of fentanyl. We want to honor those who have
lost their lives to this epidemic. We believe that your support and involvement would
be crucial in achieving this goal.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Burruel
Stockton, CA
