Distracted Driving Awareness: Educating Youth and New Drivers
Desiree U.
On the early morning of November 7th, 2025 Desiree was headed to the bus stop in Phoenix. She was headed to her classes to become a Medical assistant. Instead of making it to class she was struck by an unidentified vehicle who left the scene.
Since the accident, Desiree has spent time fighting for her life in ICU and is now in an inpatient acute rehabilitation center. Every day she is making small progress, but with the severity of her brain injury and physical injuries she still has a big journey ahead of her.
Desiree lives with her Grandfather who has health issues of his own and is needing help financially to be able to care for Desiree and the services that she needs. If you can donate to her family please do. If you can't at this time this family would appreciate your prayers and shares of the link.

On October 31st at approximately 7pm, Demetry Q, 19 years old, from Arizona was headed to see friends when his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle. According to witnesses, the driver stayed on the scene and is cooperating with the local police department. Because of the severity of the impact, even though he was wearing bike gear, Demetry passed away due to injuries in route to a valley hospital.

Update: Stacy has gone home on hospice to live out the rest of her days surrounded by her Husband, family, pets and loved ones. Please continue to pray for this family and donate or share the link to her GoFundMe in effort to aid in support of her family.
On October 13th life as they knew it for Stacy and her Husband, Brian changed . The young family with a young daughter from Colorado were on a vacation in higher elevation. Stacy was involved in an accident that caused a cardiac event. Because of the cardiac event, Stacy is still as of November 20th, 2025 in ICU fighting for her life. She is now off the ventilator but has a trach. She now is opening her eyes but they are wanting to see more response to stimuli. Brian has not left her side. He is keeping prayer groups going asking us to pray that she will continue to open her eyes and respond more to verbal and physical stimuli. So far efforts to have her transferred to Craigs or Shephard have been denied, this is an additional fight that continues as well.
Please pray for this sweet young mama to wake up, to continue to fight and make a full recovery. Please pray for their little girl Charlie - for her heart and mind to be at peace during such a confusing time for her and for her to feel the comfort of Jesus during this time. Please pray for Brian, for strength, clarity and peace as he continues to be at her bedside making decisions. You can find their Tiktok account where he updates from time to time by searching "Brian Pilkinton". Additionally, you can donate or share the gofundme started for Stacy by clicking HERE. We will keep their GoFundMe up until it closes.
