If not for seat-belts, she'd be dead... legitimately dead. She even admitted this herself in a journal entry which can be read here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6290196/

...I need to make it a point that our seat belts saved our LIVES and without them we would definitely been dead, PLEASE NEVER drive in a car without being buckled in. Even at 30 miles an hour, a head on collision without a seat belt can kill you, and now that I was in an accident at this magnitude, I realize how absolutely important they are when driving. This was a near death experience for me and I'm still really shook up by it all, and I feel like my life has changed dramatically since...

She was the very first artist I commissioned to draw Maxwell. Max wasn't even visually established yet... until she came around, that is. I owe her a great deal of thanks. Right now? I believe we ALL owe her a profound debt of gratitude and a grand show of support. Do the respectable thing. Help a fellow artist. I'm sharing this journal EVERYWHERE, just to spread the word. If you do wish to give a little, they've established a recovery drive page on GoFundMe.com, which can be accessed right here: http://www.gofundme.com/hpfkz8/

God Bless you ROKEMI ... may your recovery be quick and efficient!

Thanks for reading. As you go back about your day, remember this: life is incredibly fragile. Seat-belts save lives. Always remember to buckle up, no matter what.
