On a day like any other, my life changed forever when I became the victim of a shooting in St. Thomas, Ontario. That moment left me paralyzed and completely changed the future I once had.

Every day, I live with the physical and emotional impact of what happened to me. This isn’t just a statistic—it’s my life.

As sentencing approaches, I am speaking out to make sure my voice is heard. Too often, the focus shifts to the person responsible, while the lifelong impact on victims is overlooked.

This petition is about awareness, accountability, and ensuring that victims are not forgotten. It’s about recognizing the real, lasting consequences of violent crime—not just in the moment, but for a lifetime.

By signing this petition, you are helping bring attention to my story and the reality that victims face every day.

No one should have to go through something like this.

Thank you for standing with me.
