Unfortunately I was hit by a drunk driver walking down my street one night. The driver struck me from
behind and left me on the side of the road. A passerby noticed me in the ditch and called for help. I had
to get 6 staples in the back of my head and a cast on my right ankle from being crushed. The driver
was eventually found cleaning blood from his front grill and arrested. I used and won a small amount of
money which my family and I lived off of while I healed. The head injury took some time to heal mentally
but in the end thanks to God all is well.
