MADD victim, advocate and volunteer<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t forgive the driver who killed my beautiful, talented and loving 23-year-old daughter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe I should \u2014 some do \u2014 but I cannot.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 15 years, he will go before the parole board \u2013 and, you better believe that I plan to be there.<\/p>\n

The question is will you help me get justice?<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

If Mothers Against Drunk Driving\u00ae<\/sup> has taught me anything, it\u2019s that justice must be demanded. \"\"

When you give a gift to MADD, especially during their current dollar-for-dollar match campaign, you give hope for more justice. You provide comfort. You make tomorrow better.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

For the last five years, I\u2019ve paid her cell phone bill to just be able to hear her voice. That’s all the drunk and drugged driver left me of her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey guys, This is Ashley. I cannot come to the phone right now. Leave me a message.\u201d Listen for yourself and then make the decision to help keep Ashley\u2019s memory alive.<\/p>\n

In 2016, drunk driving killed 10,497 people \u2013 one person every 50 minutes \u2013 and forever changed the meaning of words like \u201cnormal\u201d and \u201cfuture\u201d for more than 304,000 injury survivors.<\/p>\n

\"\"

That means we must change as well. We must demand more. So, today, I am a MADD volunteer, a donor, a Walk Like MADD participant and an advocate.<\/p>\n

Will you join me? Change is scary, but social good doesn\u2019t come easy. It\u2019s earned.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s bring more people home for the holidays this year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
