MY MESSAGE TO EVERYONE FOR THE 4TH OF JULY

DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.

UTILIZE SAFE RIDE SHARES SUCH AS UBER, LYFT, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, OR A FRIEND WHO IS A DESIGNATED DRIVER FOR THE DAY AND NIGHT.

I DIDN’T THINK BEING 29 YEARS OLD I WOULD EVER HAVE TO TAKE THE TIME TO EVEN SAY THIS TO PEOPLE OR ADDRESS THIS ON MY PERSONAL PLATFORM AND SAFE SPACE.

BUT THE REALITY IS I DO. BECAUSE ON JULY 4, 2018 AS A 28 YEAR OLD I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE WHEN A VERY INTOXICATED DRIVER HIT ME AS A PEDESTRIAN.



I WOKE UP IN THE HOSPITAL AND MY PARENTS RECEIVED THE DREADED MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT PHONE CALL NO PARENT EVER WANTS TO EXPERIENCE IN THEIR LIFE.

IN THE END IT WILL COST US BOTH A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY, SUFFERING, TRAUMA, TRAGEDY, PAIN, LIFE CHANGING MOMENTS, AND THE REALITY IS ONE PERSON’S IRRESPONSIBLE DECISION ALMOST COST MY LIFE.

BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

TAKE THE $50 UBER OR BOOK THE $300 HOTEL ROOM.

DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE A SAFE FOURTH OF JULY.

XoXo,

Brittney
