Kali I am a paramedic from Moncton and would like to say thank you for posting this video. Hopefully it will have an effect on many others. Stay strong. If you haven't already, get out to the high schools and tell your story. These tragedies often get through to the younger crowds where lectures fail. I am certain your persistence will make a profound difference and will save others from what you have had to endure.

What really makes my blood boil is the actions of the drunk drivers, both before and after crashes. Before, they decry alcohol limits as attempts to take away their freedom, claiming that their "right" to do whatever they want trumps anyone else's lives.

After, they scream about how THEY are the victim, having to spend years in prison and having their image forever ruined. As if that was anything in compared to being on the receiving end of a one-tonne metal object moving at highway speed.

I am totally against drinking and driving. I am also totally against the corrupt organization FOR PROFIT, MADD.

Hey Kali. MADD came to my school today and we watched their programme. your story was the one that hit me the most. No child should EVER go through not having their parents. Let alone this also happeneing to your little brother. I can't imagine what you have been through. You are the bravest person that i have heard from. I hope you keep your head held high and be strong. I really am thankful you shared your story with all of us that get to see the program and the world to see. thank you
