      HONORING FELICIA MICELI DURING MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

  (Mrs. RAMIREZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. RAMIREZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor my constituent, 
Felicia Miceli, a dedicated champion seeking to address opioid abuse 
among our youth.
  Her beloved son, Louie Theodore Miceli, loved the outdoors, he was an 
exceptional friend, he made people laugh, and he was an athlete. He 
began taking opioids to treat a sports injury. At the age of 24, he 
died from a heroin overdose.
  Since then, Felicia has worked to reduce the epidemic and ensure that 
other peoples' stories end differently. As the founder and president of 
LTM Heroin Awareness and Support Foundation, her efforts, including the 
passing of Louie's Law, protected the youth of DuPage County and 
beyond. Her commitment has honored her son's memory and has saved 
lives.
  On behalf of Illinois' Third Congressional District, I commend 
Felicia Miceli for her dedication to mental health awareness and her 
relentless pursuit of justice and support for our community.
  I congratulate and thank Felicia.
