#16143 Picking Up the Pieces

Eighteen year old Tasha was driving home after a family vacation when her life was changed forever. A drunk driver crossed the center line, hitting the driver's side of Tasha's car. This resulted in a closed head injury, altering Tasha's personality, creating depression, headaches, seizures, and difficulty with organizational skills. She also suffered from internal injuries, and lost her memory and sense of identity. The crash caused her to revert to childhood, and Tasha had to learn to breath, eat, walk and talk again.

Tasha believes that the reason she is alive is to spread the word to others to never drink and drive. She has made great strides in overcoming the physical and emotional effects of her crash. To prevent further tragedies, Tasha speaks for those victims who can no longer speak for themselves. PICKING UP THE PIECES... Surviving a Drunk Driving Crash delivers a message whose impact will be felt long after the words themselves are forgotten.
