Learn MoreWaking from my coma on my death bed was big. Doctors said I was a "medical miracle". Many doctors & nurses came to see me when I was in recovery, in complete disbelief that I had made it. Few of my specialists even saying that I'd be the biggest success story of their careers. After it all, I left my abuser for good & said a permanent goodbye to my toxic & abusive "family". After that, I decided to share my story through my ink. #Survivor
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I am resilient. I know what it is to love because I've lived a life absent of love only finding it in myself and what I poured into others. I am kind because I have scarcely known kindness. I appreciate the light because I was born in the dark. Raised in the darkness surrounded by abuse. Every thing I have I have fought for. My past is my back story on my heros journey and I am proud to be the human that I am today. Kind. Empathetic. UNBREAKABLE.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would finally be able to find a safe home for my two sons and I. Since I was a child this dream of creating a safe and loving home someday is what got me through the most unbelievable and nightmarish situations. Being a single mom is not for the weak and being a single mom with NO family and only two friends including my awesome and very young tattoo artist ... Has been SO damn hard. This money would change our lives.
