Ways that the public can help US make an impact....

---

We are looking for people with artistic ability to help us create poster boards for our live events!

We have two events coming up and this is what we are looking for, for each event!

Light the night: Traumatic brain injury awareness. Maybe you are a survivor or a family member of a survivor. Create a poster board artistically showing us what it is like to live as a survivor, in your world! Or as a family member living in the world of a survivor!

One Moment - Memorial walk for loved ones taken from us because of distracted driving.

We are looking for creations that can educate drivers at the same time. Showing your pain or anger artistically, using your story in a creative way to make a wave of emotion, curiosity and a lasting impression.

These pieces can be on one piece poster boards or tri fold poster boards .

If you are local, we can pick up or we can give you a location to drop off or send them to.  These poster boards will be used at our live events for years to come.

We will be offering 1st , 2nd and 3rd place prizes for each category. 

Addi's Miracle Foundation has a few events coming up. Light the night - Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness event. This event is held for survivors, family members, caregivers as well as first responders and medical professionals . This event is held to offer support to survivors, family members and caregivers as well as to educate and bring the together the community, caregiver recognition and offering resources and networking. 

One Moment Memorial event held for families, friends, caregivers and loved ones who has lost someone they loved because of distracted driving. This event will have a platform time for family, friends and loved ones can share their loved ones legacy, story and pictures. We will be bringing awareness to surrounding community we encourage families with pre teen, teens driving with a permit and drivers who have been on the road for a bit to join us on this night so that they can see this side of driving distracted, even for just one moment.  We will have a guest speaker and then will be handing out candles and closing with a walk honoring our loved ones memory.

Walk this way - Pedestrian awareness event will be held on the first Saturday of October. This event will be bringing awareness, safety and education rules and laws to the forefront. We welcome all ages to join us at this event. There will be a bounce house for the younger kids, snacks, prizes, guest speaker and much more.

So how can YOU help us with these events? If you are in Arizona but perhaps you are in Tucson or are further up north we would still love to have your help. We would love to be able to hold these events by county, but this absolutely will take more hands. If you are willing to host a chapter in another county - the same event, same date and same itinerary - we would be thrilled! You won't be doing this alone. Once you contact us that you would like to host an event we will enlist you for the chapter in your county/area, we will assist you in everything that needs to be done, including marketing and making sure you have what is needed.

If you are in another state but would like to host an event under Addi's Miracle Foundation we would love for you to be the host chapter for your state! The same idea applies. If you are interested in spreading awareness and education by hosting these events in your area, let us know! We will do everything to assist you in setting up, marketing the event and making sure you have what is needed!

If you are ready to sign up please email Katie at Addismiracleadvocacy@gmail.com SUBJECT "Chapter/Your state" and I will be in touch!

We are always seeking courageous survivors who are willing to share their stories. Your voice matters—your experience could be the one that compels someone to think twice before driving distracted, it could save a pedestrian from a life changing accident or worse. Stories grounded in truth and vulnerability have the power to move people in ways that statistics alone cannot.

For too long, the reality of distracted driving has been softened, when in fact it demands our full attention and collective action. It’s time to speak honestly, to confront this crisis head-on, and to elevate the voices of those who have lived through its devastating impact.

If you are located anywhere in the United States and would like to share your story, we invite you to email us. Your story will be shared in your own words, with full credit given. Including a photo is optional—your voice is what matters most.

Together, we can drive change—one story at a time.

Your Story Matters. Their Life Matters.

Surviving a distracted driving crash or a pedestrian accident  is nothing short of a miracle—but sadly, not everyone is given that chance. Far too many lives have been tragically cut short, leaving behind grieving families and communities forever changed.

If you have lost a loved one—whether family or friend—to distracted driving, your story holds profound meaning. Their life, their memory, and the impact of their loss deserve to be acknowledged and honored.

When you're ready, we’re here to help you share their story. Your voice can raise awareness, inspire change, and remind others of what’s truly at stake every time someone chooses to drive distracted.

Because every life lost is more than a statistic—it’s a name, a face, a future that mattered.

As we continue to build and share our message, we strive to approach the issue of distracted driving with fairness, empathy, and a well-rounded perspective. This crisis affects individuals on all sides—those who have lost their lives, the survivors living with trauma, and yes, even those who were responsible for the accident.

We recently came across a young man who, years ago, caused a fatal crash due to distracted driving and excessive speed. Today, he has chosen to dedicate his life to speaking out—sharing his experience, the weight of his remorse, and the lifelong impact of taking a life. His story is a powerful reminder that accountability and growth can coexist with tragedy.

Our mission is not only to raise awareness and advocate for stronger laws but also to foster understanding. We recognize that, in some cases, the individuals who caused these crashes never intended harm—it was a tragic, life-altering accident. That doesn’t erase the pain, but it adds an important layer to the conversation about prevention, responsibility, and healing.

If this is your story—if you’ve had time to reflect, heal, and are ready to share your experience—we welcome the opportunity to speak with you. Your voice may help others think differently, drive more mindfully, and understand the true weight of distracted driving from a deeply human perspective.

Our organization holds deep respect and gratitude for the first responders who serve our communities with unwavering courage and compassion. As a mother, I’ve come to understand—especially since Addi’s accident—just how deeply these professionals are affected by the calls they respond to. Behind their strength are stories, emotions, and experiences that often go unspoken.

We recognize that the impact of a single call can last a lifetime. The weight of what first responders witness, carry, and sometimes silently endure deserves acknowledgment, empathy, and space to be shared.

If you are a first responder—anywhere in the United States—and feel ready to share your thoughts, reflections, or personal story, we would be honored to listen and help amplify your voice. Your perspective is a vital part of the conversation surrounding distracted driving, trauma, and healing.

You are not alone, and your experience matters.
