OPERATION DO-OVER
Hi I am a single mother of four daughters from the ages of: 9,7, 5, and 1 years old. I will be remanded into custody in Bradenton,
Florida on February 19th. My story is a tragic story. On January 18th 2015 I was in a car accident in which a man lost his life. He was a Pastor and a Husband from North Carolina.
According to the police report my vehicle rear ended his vehicle on the 75 heading North Bound. The vehicle went up about a thousand feet and flipped over. Unfortunately he was ejected from the vehicle . His wife, myself and my children sustained minor injuries. On that day I was taken into custody and I was charged with the DUI manslaughter among other charges, for the car accident.
I have been out on bond and I have tried to rebuild my life. I've been very active in AA awareness and spreading the gospel, the truth, and awareness about drinking and driving and any other form of addiction.
My life has become a fundamental Christian woman. I know on that night it was tragedy for all parties involved. I can never undo that night but what I can do is change the future by bringing about awareness and bringing Pastor Darrell Scruggs memory to life. I am now studying to become a mental health specialist in addiction and wanting to become an ordained minister of the Christian Church.
I work with many awareness groups, addicts, prisoners, and Outreach centers to talk about alcohol and the effects that it has on Children and Families who have gone through similar situations with accidental death and the disease of addiction.
I'm in the process of putting together a scholarship in memory of Pastor Darrell Scruggs . I will work hard for the rest of my life for a do over and to help others and to begin again.
However the reason I'm asking for help right now is because, financially I don't have the funds. To be quite honest, this is my last week of freedom and I would like to take my kids to Disney World and let them have a blast and create warm, loving, and fun, memories with them before I am sentenced.
In addition my children will be with living with my mom and my dad.My mother is 65 years old my father is in his 76.
They're older and they do not work. My parents struggled to raise me and my sisters but they did it. Now, they have the burden of raising my daughters. Taking care of four children is a lot, emotionally, physically, and financially.
I'm reaching out for help financially. I don't know how long I will be incarcerated for. As of right now, Judge has ordered me to be taken into custody on February 19th and I am facing 30 years of Prison. From what I have gathered from my Attorney the victims family feels that I should be in prison for 30 years.
I am sorry for the pain I have caused them and their family. I hope they can one day forgive me. I pray they will see the pain that my 4 daughters will have to endure to grow up without their mother. I pray they will have compassion.
I am sorry for the hurt and the broken dreams I have caused every person involved in this matter.
I am thankful for my parents who will be here to help raise my daughters. I never wanted my children to be part of the statistics
but they are now; and they are in God's hand.
Any amount that you can help with will be fundamental. In all honesty I just want to be able to have some financially funds to help with the raising of my daughters, the scholarship fund I would like to create, and any other hardships that may come in the way due to my incarceration.
Please help us!
Every penny counts and helps!
