I know that she is still in the hospital she is in ICU and she has a few broken bones
Does anybody know how Alissa is doing?
Actually, I think HP Fan made a bad statement in this situation. Both people in this crash WERE/ARE innocent I dont think it was Alissa’s intention that day to go out and get into a crash and be the guilty one. Yes something bad happened to both of them. but dont forget the one that cannot walk until both of her legs heal cannot breath until her collapsed lung is better and has to live with this guilt for the rest of her life, she was taken out with the jaws of life the other person was fine but not in perfect condition. so lets not forget both of them, lets pray for both of them for a full recovery.
Thank you!
The “poor woman” being referred to is the Children’s Minister at Eastpointe Christian Church. Definitely a tragedy for both families! However, there are more people than you can imagine praying for both of these ladies!!
HPFan You were right I was disrespectful unintentional but yes I am hoping and praying they all are fine and ok. My prayers are with everyone. THANK YOU for showimg me my huge error.
It’s just heartbreaking when kids get into accidents, but lets not forget the poor woman she hit. I hope that innocent person makes a full recovery.
Prayers go out to this girl and her family. She goes to my sons school and she is a good kid. My heart just breaks another kid in an accident.
