Mangione said the letter was the first to make him ‘tear up’ as the mom, only identified as Karen, shared details of her daughter’s rare, life-threatening disease
Luigi Mangione, jailed for the murder of a healthcare CEO, wrote a letter to a mother named Karen, expressing sympathy for her struggles with her daughter's healthcare costs. Karen's story moved Mangione to tears. She shared the letter with a journalist, and vowed to continue fighting in Mangione’s name. Mangione, who has garnered a following, requested a photo from Karen to display in his cell. Karen initially found it strange writing to Mangione but felt compelled to do so. Mangione's support has transcended divisions.
