MD Drunk Driving Victims Fund



On Saturday April 14th, 2018, Laura Todorova was driving her friend Samba Njie home. They were stopped at a red light just a block from Samba’s house when they were struck from behind by a speeding, intoxicated driver. They both were trapped in the vehicle, suffering extensive burns, bleeding in their brains, concussions, seizures, lacerations and one broken vertebrae. The drunk driver was not seriously injured.
They were both taken to Suburban Hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit, in critical condition. While their condition has improved over the past week, their spirits need help. To them, it feels like no one cares. The world has kept spinning for everyone else, yet they are left to walk the journey through seemingly alone. Please, donate what you can, or even just leave a word kindness or say a prayer for the two members of our community - Samba and Laura.


The drunk driver was a 24 year old female, in a rented Nissan Rogue. This was her 3rd accident of the night, most likely fleeing from the scene of the first two. Unfortunately, because she rented her vehicle from Enterprise, the first two accidents have already exceeded the amount paid back, and our lawyers are reporting that her bank accounts have already been drained. My girlfriend has car insurance, but no health insurance. She is currently recovering from a traumatic brain injury, requiring a speech therapist, mobility specialist and an occupational therapist to visit her house. Beyond that, she must travel to see a Neurologist, and is trying to also keep up with her lawyers. The passenger of her vehicle has the same doctors, minus the mobility specialist. He has health care. The money is going to them, but they’ve already dedicated portions of whatever comes their way toward paying their family back for the support. My girlfriend’s mother hasn’t worked since April 13th, neither have I. 24/7 home care is feasible while she is still a fall risk, but it costs a lot more than meets the eye to everyone around. Her family now has 1 car, and a LOT more appointments to make. Not only is my girlfriend in particular unable to comprehend how to even take care of herself right now, the bills are already piling up, and even if the lawyers maybe able to restore some of what the immediate victims had before... their lives will never be the same.
