If you are the charitable type when it comes to a stranger, boy howdy do we have a story for you.
One of our favorite servers at one of our favorite restaurants is Lea. We adore her, have done side business with her, and we have even met her husband when we saw him being sweet and sharing his dinner with her during her shift. Her daughter is Izabella (21).
Last weekend, Izabella, her girlfriend, and their friend, were in a crosswalk when they were all struck by a drunk driver who has a suspended license and who sped through a red light. Izabella was trapped under the car and dragged for half a block. After the car stopped, she was finally rescued by a giant team of people who lifted the car to get her out from under it. She is in stable condition, but badly injured. She has already had one surgery and will need weeks of recovery and rehab.
And all of this during PRIDE month.
You can read more on the Go Fund Me for her medical bills.
We are heartbroken for them all. If you can give your normal coffee or other indulgence money, please consider it.
