Name: Rebecca D., 58 years old

City: Tucson, AZ

Brain Injury: GUN SHOT WOUND TO THE HEAD. In 1978, I walked in on a robbery and was shot twice in my face and hit in the head with gun. I was found the next day.

Explanation of mask:  The bullet was removed in my left brain because of a blood clot. The bullet skimmed my right eye where I have partial blindness while my left eye was hit and I have total blindness in that eye. The other bullet went through my mouth and throat and my jaw was broken. My mask shows where the bullets went. My left brain is SCRAMBLED. The black marks on the eyes is where I was BLINDED. I had to relearn how to walk and talk. In 2005, I went back to my horses and lived beyond my dream winning the World Championship. I now help veterans and individuals with disabilities with the horses. In 2015, I finally able to read and comprehend books again!
