Life-Changing

To the Editor:

My fresh start and life-changing event started on the morning of April 25, 2024, although I didn’t realize it at the time. I became the victim of a violent crime when I was shot (twice) in the driveway of my home by someone completely unknown to me. I know how lucky I am to still be alive.

I was flown out of the area by air ambulance later that afternoon due to the injuries I sustained. I remained out of the area for just under three months while going through rehabilitation on my arm.

I have learned just what victims really deal with. Now I try to advocate for victims locally by attending hearings, court appearances and writing letters supporting fellow victims of crime.
