UPDATE: Revised version 

On September 5th, 2023, our family was shattered by a tragic loss. My beloved daughter, my only child, was taken from us in a horrific 4-car “accident”, the result of other driver's negligence. Despite the devastation inflicted upon our family, I thank God no one else was injured. No remorse has been shown for the irreparable harm caused. No one involved with the death of our child has reached out. Our grief and heartbreak have only been amplified by the lack of empathy. We are serving a life sentence and praying for justice. 

Driving a vehicle, you take ownership that you are in control of a lethal weapon. It is the same as someone who owns a gun that has the potential to cause serious injury or death to another individual. Yet, people who kill others in a car crash are given such leniency as if it were only ever an 'accident'. There are signs stating 'Buckle up,' 'Tired? Pull over,' 'Don't drink and drive,' 'Don't use your phone,' and speeding signs, along with many other warning signs. When these signs and warnings are not adhered to, the offender's repercussions are often practically non-consequential.  

We need to demand change. How can we put a price on a life? We refuse to accept a system where fatal car crash offenders evade significant consequences. We're calling for the enforcement of penalties under the law to ensure justice for victims and their families. Our pain cannot be brushed aside with mere slaps on the wrist; it must catalyze change. PROBATION is not a punishment!

Please join us in demanding accountability and fairness in the face of tragedy.  

I leave you to think about the lives of the families of those who have suffered these tragedies, imagine if your family was the one affected by meaningless death, a life or lives taken due to negligence.
