I was working as a stone mason. I could bring in $6000 cash some weeks.
Then I was walking home one night and someone tried to kill me. I got brain damage.
I lost my sense of smell, my sense of taste, most of my hearing, and now I can barely stand without getting dizzy. I must have fallen and cracked my head open thirty times since then.
Everything I knew has been washed out into the water. I’ve tried to commit suicide several times.”
