Name: Danielle G.

City: Quartzite, AZ

Brain Injury: TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI). I made the mistake of working where the equipment was inferior. A metal door came open above my head and then fell. I smashed into it and fell. My life has been a living hell ever since then.

Explanation of mask:  The red represents the awful pain I feel every moment. The words express some, but not all my struggles this has caused me. I made flowers on the skull like a Day of the Dead mask because the “OLD ME” is dead and gone for now. I used to do so many things. I loved life and cherished every moment. Now it’s hard to even go for a walk. I WISH I COULD WAKE UP FROM THE NIGHTMARE OF BRAIN INJURY.
