A woman named Lola Bee and her brother were both shot in the face with a 20 guage shotgun on February 6th according to a report by MTO. Both she and her brother survived, but took long to heal. She shared photos from when she was having surgery and after she recovered and wrote;
“Today marks a year that me and my brother were both shot in the head with a 20 gauge shot gun. I’ve never posted any pictures of how I looked and very rarely spoke on how I felt because I felt nobody would understand. The hardest part of all of this was not being able to actually see my daughter because my eyes were swollen shut.”
“Through all of the surgeries I still maintained my 3.0 GPA and graduated, I still held down my job, I still ran my support group and started its store, and I raised my daughter by myself. I never let it stop me. If I had been any closer I would have lost my left eye and I just thank God that I didn’t and I don’t have any permanent issues.”
“I may not still have a face without any bruises but I look at them as reminders that on February 6, 2015, me and my brother could’ve died and we’re both still here. This day changed me in a lot of ways, but I’m still standing, I’m still solid and I’m still beautiful and even more determined!”
This is a what she looks like now…
