Northeast Delta Human Services Authority Youth Summit
We had the privilege of attending the Northeast Delta Human Services Authority Youth Summit in Monroe, Louisiana, where thousands of high school students gathered to learn about the dangers of impaired driving. This event held special significance for us, as Monroe is the city from which our family members were traveling when the tragic crash occurred. Sharing our story at this impactful event allowed us to honor their memory while helping to prevent future tragedies.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Monohn Prud'homme for inviting us to speak, Ladonte Lotts of JiggAerobics for energizing the audience with positivity, and MADDRAMA from Jackson State University for their powerful and emotional performance that resonated deeply with all in attendance.
We are truly grateful to Northeast Delta Human Services Authority for their unwavering commitment to this cause and for including us in this important initiative. Conversations like these have the power to save lives, and we are honored to contribute to this mission.
Appearance on Dr. Phil - Behind the Wheel; Drunk and Deadly
Laura admits to driving drunk thousands of times but says she’s only been “caught” three times. Laura admits that even after receiving her third DUI, she still didn’t learn her lesson and totaled her car after she hit a guardrail, flipped over, and was saved by her airbags. Laura says she doesn’t want to drink and has tried to stay sober but claims the alcohol always wins. Laura says right now, her mother, Shirley, believes she’s 82 days sober but what Shirley doesn’t know is that Laura didn’t make it past 55 days and is drinking again. Laura says she has continued to drive drunk and drinks while driving. Laura says she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself if she hurt someone while driving intoxicated, but she can’t seem to fight her addiction. Dawn and her daughter, Katie, share their tragic story of when Dawn’s car was struck by a drunk driver killing three of her children. Is this the wake-up call Laura needs to put down the bottle for good?
