Monique is a beloved hairdresser and salon owner in Woonsocket, known for her generosity and dedication to the community. Recently, she was hit by a drunk driver and is now facing a difficult recovery. As a self-employed hairdresser, Monique will be out of work without any pay, making this situation even more challenging. Her salon, which she has poured her heart into, is at risk as she navigates this unexpected hardship.

Monique has always been there for others, using her salon as a collection site for clothing and essential items for those in need. She donates her limited free time to help neighbors and is the kind of person who would give the shirt off her back to support someone else. Now, Monique needs our help. The funds raised will go directly toward her personal bills and keeping her salon afloat while she recovers from her injuries.

Any support you can offer will make a real difference for Monique. She has touched so many lives in Woonsocket, and together, we can show her the same kindness she has always shown others. Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser to help Monique through this difficult time.

This is from a post Monique made regarding the accident!

DRUNKEN DRIVING:THE TRUE IMPACT IN THE

RECIPIENTS LIFE!I

why am I so disoriented

Why am I having trouble breathing

Having hearing decline ( like my ears are blocked from pressure.

My voice is off

Headache

Vision off a bit ( sometimes more in and out with pressure)

Neck and shoulders burn

Walking like I am drunk and I hadn’t had a drop of anything. I wasn’t out drinking. I was actually doing a friend a favor and was dropping off something then right home.

Now my life is scary- no income no car not feeling right. Now how do I make ends meet all because someone decided to be wreck lace with someone else’s life. He financially is good- I’m sure his income wasn’t impacted. Mine went from making ends meet to negative. I have a loan for my car / need a new car/ and no pay to pay my bills / no tdi ( I’m self employed!)

NOT FAIR AND VERY DISCOURAGED!

ANGRY HURT EMOTIONALLY A MESS!

I’m a fighter but how much can one woman handle before I just break.

If he hadn’t hit me he would have barreled through the road construction site and killed the lady who was directing the traffic. I was the first car in front of him and he never intended on stopping. He was very impaired looking at all the proof.

I’m not a mean spirited person so I am sharing the vehicle that has messed my life but omitted his plate for his innocent families sake. I’m sure he maybe a good man but for Gods sake, he is ruining my life and I’m 60 . I don’t have the same strength, inner fight I had at 30. I just want peace in my life .
