i was a successful remodeling contractor with two crews working.
i owned 3 nice vehicles
had work schedualed almost 6 months out
money in the bank with a 750+ credit score
and i got into a truck with a damaged seat belt latch to come home.
i did not make it home.
the drunk came through a stop sign in a school area at about 90 mph
i was thrown out of my truck
crushed between my truck and a motorhome
a large portion of my face was torn off but i did survive
24 surgeries during the following year
now 6 years later...
i lost my business three years ago. now work sales at lowes
have 2 trucks, but only one is running
i have almost lost my house twice
my wife has had stress related medical problems including a majoe stroke
still only have the use of one eye, my right one is permenantly sealed.
i have over half a million dollars in unpayed medical bills
my credit score is under 500
savings are all gone
the drunk.....
spent three years in jail
now holds a job my wife gave up for health reasons
is dreadfully behind on her 50 bucks a month restitution payments towards the 178000 dollar judgement i have against her
i aso have thousands of friends who have made my life livable through th echanges and hard times.
