This young lady was recently on Oprah and what a loving, forgiving young woman she is ! An amazing story of what she has suffered and will bear the rest of her life. Please share this with your friends and especially your teenagers who are driving.
This is Jacqueline Saburido on September 19, 1999.
This is she and her Father, 1998. __________________
This is she on Vacation in Venezuela.
Birthday party as a child.
At a party with friends.
The car in which Jacqueline traveled. She was hit by another car that was driven by a 17-year old male student on his way home after drinking a couple of hard packs with his friends. This was in December 1999.
After the accident Jacqueline has needed over 40 operations.
Jacqueline was caught in the burning car and her body was heavily burnt during around 45 seconds.
With her Father, 2000.
Getting treatment.
_ Three months after accident.
Without a left eyelid Jacquie needs eye drops to keep her vision.
_Now 20 year old, he cannot forgive himself for driving drunk on that night three years ago.
He's aware of devastating Jacqueline Saburidos life.
Not everyone who gets hit with a car dies. This picture was taken 4 years after the accident and the doctors are still working on Jacqueline, whose body was covered with 60% severe burnings.
Please send this to as many people as you can to make them aware of the consequences of drink driving.
i dont know what to say to this. for the last time i dranks i blew a .27 driving under the influence.all ican say it is a another reason to sober up, not only for teens. yes sad. may god bless u !!!!wagon
As the tears roll down my face, I think, " Only by the grace of God, I never caused something like this." Please don't drink and drive. Please don't drink, stay sober today....
As I sit here sobbing looking at this tragedy, I too, realize but for the grace of God.
That's some heavy shit, Wendy. Thanks so much for posting it.
I plan to forward it to others, also. And I have shared this with my 15 yr old son. He fell to his knees and cried. I pray this feeling never leaves him and he makes better choices than I did or this young man who is responsible.
Thanks, again.
with love
Doll
