Vehicle for mother of 2

Donation protected
On July 4th 2015 at approximately  2:45pm, a woman and her two kids were driving down Papago in Maricopa AZ, coming back from a day of shopping and looking forward to a day of fireworks and festivities when a turn for the worse happened and her and her two kids were struck by an on coming SUV. The driver of that SUV was an illegal alien who was under the influence of what could only be presumed to be alcohol the way he came into her lane, then collided with her the way he did.

The vehicle, an Oldsmobile Bravada, the woman was driving was demolished as a result from her SUV rolling over at least 3 times. Pieces of the vehicle were everywhere surrounding her vehicle including the her back axel and items she had bought earlier that day for the 4th of July celebration, including a red, white and blue shirt that her son was never able to wear.



These were not just some children that were in the SUV with their mom, but also my children as well. Our 4 year old son and our 1 year old daughter.


Our son David


Our daughter Kennedi 



I was on my way to Maricopa to pick them up when I received the worse call anybody could get. It was a phone call from their mom in tears saying, "Where are you? I was involved in a roll over accident and that they are air evacing our David to the hospital!!!" That was all she knew and that was all I got. Then she hung up and the longest hour of my life proceeded. I did the only thing I knew to do at that moment and started praying to God almighty and Jesus my lord and savior asking to protect david, Kennedi and the mother of my children. I then proceeded with shaky hands and asked people on my Facebook for their prayers too. After that I called my mother and told her what was going on. I then proceeded to call any organization I could for information on where David was going to being flown too. I then called the mother of my children to find out more information and she told me that she thinks she is fine and that Kennedi seemed to be ok but that she didn't know about David and his condition and that he was bleeding very badly from his head and that she had to go.

I finally after what seemed forever found out where David was being flown to. I called immediately and was transferred  to a social worker that worked at the hospital David was being flown to and told her what was going on. She asked for as much info as she could and gave her as much as I knew. I got to the hospital just minutes after the helicopter had arrived and ran into the ER. I told the officer at the front desk the situation and he got the social worker for me I previously spoke with. She had told me that both of the people that were flown in were waiting on getting CT scans and that David was first, for he was the largest risk because of his head trauma. She told me that the mother of our children seemed to be ok but as a precaution that they were going to do a CT scan just to be safe as she was having abdominal pains. Then she proceeded to tell me the condition of David.

Firat before I go into this I just want to say that these social workers sure do know how to draw things out and scare the heck out of a parent, thats all. She then proceeded to tell me that he was in the green, green being the lowest risk level and I believe yellow was next and then it was red when it came to classification, and which was a good sign and that he seemed to be in good spirits and was conscious and aware of his surroundings. She told me that my son had told her that he was Spiderman last year for Halloween and that Spiderman was also his favorite cartoon, which was all true. I'm guessing she told me this to reassure me that he was doing ok dispite the current situation. I lost it, I gave praise to god and thanked him for sparing my son's life. The Lord had shined down on me that day. She proceeded to tell me that they are not in the clear as we still had to wait for the results from the CT scan, but that it looked promising. I asked to see him and she said I had to wait. I then asked about Kennedi and was told that she was in route via ambulance with her Aunt, but there were no physical signs of any trauma to her but as a precaution that she still needed to be evaluated when she arrived. So I went outside and waited for her. 

My daughter was the first that I was to see as I was waiting outside for her arrival. I took her in her arms and said a silent prayer to give thanks to my lord. We were ushered into one of the rooms and was told that this is where David would be coming after he was done with the CT scan. When David finally did arrive arrived to the room I lost it again. His face was caked with dry blood and a brace was around his frail little neck. 

David said daddy when he saw me, it took him a while for him to see me as his head wasn't mobile because it was being held in place from the brace. I held back my tears and wiped away the ones that I had produce and said daddy's right here. I didnt want my little man to see me in tears because I didnt want him to see me as scared and afraid, but as in a brave and courageous state for we still had to wait for the reults and I needed him to be strong for me as I needed to be strong for him. I held David the best I could and waited for the results and when they came back with a 100% bill of health, I wept tears of joy. The doctor did say that David would need a few staples for the laceration on his head and a several stitches for the cuts on his face. All in all he received three staples and about 10 stitches, and he did it bravely. I texted his mom and asked had she heard anything yet and that Davids CT scan came back negative. She said that she was fine am the reults for her had also came back negative. Kennedi also came back with a perfect bill of health too. God was good to me that day and I am still thanking him as I am writing this. And to make the good news even better, they were all released from the hospital around 8:45 pm and my son told me pretty much the whole time we were there, that he wanted to see fireworks. On our way home we pulled over and was able to catch the last 5 minutes of the fireworks at Tempe Town Lake before we headed off home. There is a small part of me that wants to believe that those fireworks were for my family who I almost lost., and it was gods way of showing me one more time that day on how magnificent he can be.

Now here comes back to why I am asking for donations. The driver who almost took the lives of my kids and their mother was an illegal. He was extremely intoxicated for what my children's mother has said. He had no insurance on his vehicle. Her insurance would only cover the hospital bills up to a certain amount but as for helping with getting her in a new vehicle, she was on her own. She needs help to get another vehicle, a safe one that will protect her and our children. We are no longer together but I still care for her and I want her and our kids to be safe. Please help in anyway possible to get her something that's reliable, dependable and safe. Every dollar will help.

If someone was to donate a vehicle to her in the next few weeks that met the criteria of being reliable, dependable and safe then I would take all the money she received and donate it to an organization that helped families in need.

Thank you for taking some of your time and reading this... with or without a donation I just want to say thank you and god bless, may you never have to go through this. 


I left out the mothers name because I want them to remain anonymous.
