Arizona
Name: Raymond L., 7 years old. Sibling of Keegan L. and Nicole L.
City: San Tan Valley, AZ
Brain Injury: TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI), 3 SKULL FRACTURES AND BRAIN BLEEDS. When I was only 3-months old I was taken to the hospital for a broken arm. Body scans showed evidence of 3 skull fractures, multiple rib fractures, and a brain bleed.
Explanation of mask: I have a TBI because my biological mother’s boyfriend abused me when I was very young. This makes me feel SAD. That’s why I have tears, pain, anger, hurt, disappointment, and nervous. The heart shows the kindness and love I receive from my family. I AM BRAVE! I AM A HERO!
