Reflecting on 5 years since being left for dead
On 19 June 2020, I was left for dead by a drunk driver. No licence. No insurance. No care for the life he nearly took.
That day changed everything.
Five years have passed. Life looks very different now. Some changes have been painful. Others have brought new purpose. And there’s still more to come.
On our toughest days, it’s thinking of our children that gives us the strength to keep going. Sareena and Ariya give me that strength every single day.
The world is changing fast. The country is struggling. People feel unheard and unsure of what’s next.
But what stays with me isn’t fear of what’s happened to me. It’s fear of what might happen to my daughters. It’s leaving them in a world that may not protect them or even try to understand them.
They deserve better. Every child does.
