City: Rocky Mount

Brain Injury: Encephalitis and surgery to remove part of my brain because the disease had killed a part of my brain and brain stem.

Explanation of Mask: My mask tells and shows how after almost dying from my illness and surgery, so many people loved me, prayed for me and helped me through all the adjustments in my life.  I am confident, determined, grateful, hopeful and extremely inspired and confident that I will live a terrific life too.
