Pick My Brain If You dare

Venture into my crazy life w/ 2 boys!

 

L
This is her and her Father, 1998.
 
This is her 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.

 

*EDIT NOTE* I just wanted to let everyone know that I don't know this wonderful girl. I've had a couple people ask me to give her a message and I'm unable to do so. I wish I had the honor of knowing her but I don't. BELOW IS THE ONLY WAY I KNOW OF THAT YOU CAN CONTACT HER...

My Father is a alcoholic and drove drunk many times. I thank God the only thing he hit was a guardrail once.

People really need to look at the risks they take with driving while drunk, high, texting, or any other other distracting/disabling thing. The consequences are so serious. That boy ruined this girls life. Imagine the physical and emotional pain she goes through thanks to his decision. It's heartbreaking.

Jul. 29, 2009 at 11:37 AM At the college I attend, there is a poster of Jackie saying "not everyone dies from drunk driving." It is in a hall that i imagine over 3,000 students walk thru everyday. I hope that people understand the depth of this and take action to keep it from happening any more.

I've seen interviews with her and have seen this many times...it is always such a strong reminder of how others' stupid actions impact innocent people.  I hope this even saves one life!

My 17 year old nephew was arrested last weekend for DUI.  It's the first time he's ever been in trouble...  I'm printing this for him right now!
