A tale of two Presidents
I wrote to Donald Trump about my daughters death begging for help with the illicit fentanyl crisis and I also wrote a similar letter to Joe Biden.
These are their responses you decide who was more humane and compassionate to a grieving mother.
2) I honestly don't know which is worse, the fact that our President completely ignored my pain of loss or that myself and our other grieving families, who received similar responses weren't even worth the value of a U.S. postage stamp to send us a real letter instead of an email
3) My daughter and all those dying and all the broken grieving mothers, fathers and families left behind should matter too...
4) I really wish I could say this was just a mistake but it's not. Another of our bereaved mother's also received a form letter after begging for help 10 days ago. I urged our families to write to the POTUS for help and all we got in return was more pain.
5) It is BEYOND CRITICAL that our leaders LISTEN to affected families in order to UNDERSTAND what happened to our children & the new challenges we face in this illicit fentanyl crisis. NON-addicted young people are dying at an alarming rate & they STILL haven't warned ANY OF THEM
6) The DEA seized more than 10 million of these fake pills this year in Phoenix ALONE. 40% OF PILLS TESTED WERE LETHAL.YOUR NON-ADDICTED CHILD IS AT RISK OF DEATH IF THEY EVEN TRY A PARTY DRUG OR TAKE A PILL JUST ONE TIME & our POTUS remains fixated on addiction alone. WARN THEM!
7) To those responding so cruelly, I don't WANT nor need your pity that does NOTHING to bring back my child or fix my family.
What I WANT is for you to HELP us warn the public and to make this administration LISTEN so they UNDERSTAND the NEW problem so YOUR family can be safe.
8) Our leadership has COMPLETELY FAILED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE TO FIX THIS GROWING ILLICIT FENTANYL PROBLEM.
OUR KIDS ARE DYING! IT'S PAST TIME WE ALL UNITE ON THIS ONE ISSUE AND WE ALL DEMAND BI-PARTISAN EFFORTS ON EVERY LEVEL TO STOP IT TO PROTECT YOUR LOVED ONES NOW!
9) In loving memory of our lost children, deceived and poisoned with illicit fentanyl.
These are just a few of today's typical victims. Healthy non-addicted teens and college students.
Kids should learn from their mistakes,
NOT DIE FROM THEM!
