December 21, 2021 the Pierite family was on their way home from Christmas shopping when an aggressive, drunk driver, Tyler Hampton hit their back right tire causing them to hit a guard rail and a concrete steel sign structure. In the vehicle was daddy/husband Joshua Pierite, 26, who suffered severe injuries including a collapsed lung, broken ribs severe nerve damage and a badly broken leg that required surgery. Mommy/wife Brooklyn, 22, suffered a concussion, partially collapsed lung, broken ribs and multiple lacerations that required stitches. Beautiful, sweet, Aubrey, 4, suffered only minor injuries thank God and is doing well. Unfortunately, 2 year old Native American princess, Mi’Lania Skye Pierite had to be med-flighted to the hospital with life threatening injuries and two days later on Thursday, December 23rd at about 9pm, she passed away. Because her body was secured by her car seat, the jolt from the head on collision caused her to suffer from severe spinal cord damage at her neck. This caused her brain to go without oxygen for longer than her little body could stand. She fought as hard and for as long as she could. She is a kind and beautiful toddler. Full of life and known among family as a little actress/singer destined to be the next Disney princess. She loved her mommy, big sister and was the definition of a true daddies girl.

It’s been 1 year and 3 months with no justice, no court date, and no answers. Tyler Hampton still has his license and is a free man, gets to go home to his family, and now we have word on his sentencing… The Tarrant county Texas justice system is open to the possibility of nothing more than probation. Please search for “Mi’lania Pierite Arlington TX” for more information and news articles. We are asking everyone to help us get justice. This isn’t fair. We are being told that Tyler is only 25 with no criminal history so the sentencing will be short. Our baby was only 2 years old, innocent and ALSO had a whole life ahead of her. HER LIFE MATTERS! She did not get behind a wheel drunk HE DID. Our sweet baby of only 2y & 3m 8d in age will never be able to live her life as she should have because of his selfish actions. Please, even just a signature helps. We miss our little angel so much and SHE NEEDS JUSTICE!!! We believe these drunk drivers will never stop unless an example is made out of them. STATISTICALLY, over 10,000 people are killed each year by drunk drivers. That’s at least 1 death every 50 minutes. Texas being the number one state on this list. We need change here in Texas. We also believe that this man should have a minimum of 20 years. The whole family in the vehicle has life altering injuries, broken femur, broken ribs, collapsed lungs, concussions, broken fingers, permanent nerve damage in their head and hands, PTSD, including her 5 year old sister that watched her baby sister take her last breaths with no way of helping because they were trapped in the burning truck that had been flipped on its side while Tyler tried to flea the scene. For taking such a sweet innocent life. Please help us reach our goal. God bless you all. 

Please don’t ruin lives by intoxicated driving!
