Brandy Lino-Corona
On September 20th of 2018, driving back from my Rowan University I fell down a small hill near the blueberry farm in Hamilton Township. I thank God I only suffered a couple of bruises and a huge headache. It was truly a miracle I was able to climb out the car with no major injuries. At that moment the only thing I wanted to do was call my dad. The lady who helped me get out the vehicle lend me her cell phone. I did not know that making that one phone call would change our lives completely. While I was being taken to the hospital, I overheard on the ambulance radio that there were multiple collisions with people in critical condition near the location where my accident occurred. It never crossed my mind that my sister and father were involved in that accident. I found out hours later when my uncle arrived at the ER. My father and I made it out from our accidents with no major injuries, but my sister Brandy was hit the hardest during the impact. She suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. She was fighting for her life in the ICU. Brandy had to get multiple surgeries due to her brain constantly swelling. She is now considered a stable patient at an inpatient rehabilitation hospital. My sister who just turned sixteen in August and I share a wonderful sibling relationship. She is my best friend and my sunshine. Watching her in the condition she is in upsets everyone who knows her because there is not one day you do not see her with a big smile on her face, laughing and making jokes. We would always go for ice coffee runs and sing every day at home. We had made plans to visit her dream school, travel for winter break, go to prom, train for softball and so much more. The last thing I told her before leaving that morning was that I loved her and the last thing she texted me minutes before their accident was, “Don’t be scared. I love you..” My family and I have been trying to raise money to help my parents and sister with any expenses they have to make. Even though you don’t know my sister, I promise you that you would love to be around her. This will be a long journey for us but as a family, we are taking it day by day. Thank you for your support.
