Destiny and Corey were high school sweethearts. After three blissful years of dating, the couple got married and welcomed a baby boy into the world. Parker was born on June 23, 2013.


But on September 20, 2014, life changed in an instant.

Destiny, Corey and Parker were driving to an appointment when another driver slammed into their minivan. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the woman who hit them was under the influence of alcohol.

Baby Parker was killed at the scene. Less than 24 hours later, Corey passed away at the hospital. The woman who hit them also lost her life; Destiny, now 22 years old, was the only survivor.


On the one-year anniversary of the horrible accident, Destiny took to Facebook to share her earth-shattering story. She never expected her message to go viral, but it did.

Now, Destiny is hoping to spread awareness about drinking and driving so other families don’t have to experience such a nightmare.
