    I’m so sorry... can’t imagine the pain emotionally and physically. You have a community that is here for you and things can only get better moving forward.

      It's hard when you lose the use of your legs. I was in a wreck last April and I'm paralyzed from the waist down.

    My father had the same injury as you from his accident on his motorcycle. Like you, he had his car modified to drive and was able to thrive until his dying day. This happened back in 1980 in Corpus. I'm telling you this because I'm so impressed with your spirit, it reminds me of my dad's. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you for sharing your story with us. I could hear, see, and feel the pain you felt as you were talking about it. You are indeed brave; braver than most (myself included). My heart goes out to you and your friend who passed away family. You are such a strong soul ....I know you probably don't feel that way everyday, but you are. Continue to take good care of you.

    Hi. My wife was thrown from a horse in September of 2019. She is a T-3, T-4 complete. She has not yet ventured into getting into the driver seat of the car with hand controls as I have seen you do in another video, but I am sure she will be inspired since your sci's are very similar. I just felt moved to share this with you. Thank you for your videos. God bless you.

    Kathryn, that was heartbreaking to watch because of the pain being so raw for you. The sun can be a blessing and a curse when it's as low as that, and an accident of that magnitude can and did change your life in way's we can only hope never to experience. Yes your friend will be there by your side willing for you to be the best person that you can. I was lucky to only have a trapped cord after my accident, even so it was a terrible struggle with being hospital bed bound for 6x months and that was many many years ago but it's hard not to feel why me isn't it? But all I can say is why not me? I've my beliefs but not something I talk about much. You stay strong girl and educate those wee ones for the future! I'm John BTW.

    When you’re ready to talk about it, you’ll have the audience to listen. It isn’t needed to go into detail ever for anyone. One day you’ll feel ready to speak on it, but remember you don’t ever have to. Even if until the day you pass you do not want to speak on it, you don’t have to.

    I admire your courage. I am a wheelchair user. I have Cerebral Palsy. I have used a chair for around 30 years. I can’t say I know what it’s like to have a spinal cord injury, but I do know the challenges of using a wheelchair. Have you ever been to an Ability Expo? If you haven’t you need to go. The expo will show you all kinds of cool equipment to make your life easier and a lot of times more fun. I might also make a suggestion for you to connect with the Texas Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. This agency can help pay for college or provide you adaptive equipment to allow you to pursue a vocation of your choosing. I live in Oklahoma and I’ve held a full time job at an independent living center as an independent living specialist. My state vocational rehabilitation agency helped me get around $18,000 worth of adaptive equipment including a wheelchair crane for my pickup, hand controls, a carbon fiber rigid frame chair and a Smartdrive power assist device to help save my shoulders.

    I had my t4 shattered in a car accident 3 or 4 years ago. I got stuck on bed rest for a month or 2 and wearing back brace for at least 6 months and would use it sometimes after when I got back pain. Felt like a damn ninja turtle wearing that thing. I remember being fully conscious during my wreck. I'm curious so if you're comfortable saying (when I broke my back the pain was excursiating but I wasn't paralyzed) were you able to feel your back break in the accident? Also so sorry about your friend.😔

This life is but a mist compared to being with God forever in eternity. God never promised this young girl a perfect life with no suffering. He does however promise forgiveness through faith in Jesus and eternal life. So despite being paralyzed, this young girl has THE greatest gift one could possibly have. And If you ask her, I bet she would tell you that she is absolutely blessed.

    I. Was. HEATED. When I saw that comment on TikTok saying just stand.. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I didn’t even watch the video yet but I read some comments, I’m sorry for your loss. Please stay strong! I know TikTok is really toxic now but I hope you don’t get hate here. I wish you the best in everything you do! Also your car is really cool! I saw every TikTok and knew I had to watch this. That workout video made my day. I’m sorry if I sound like a stalker I’m only 13 (14 on June 29th) lol. I don’t really know what you’re going through but I know it must be difficult. I hope all goes well with the therapy sessions (I believe that’s what you were doing in the reply video). Have a good day/night love!~ ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
    Edit: I finally got to watch the video. I’m so sorry about what happened. I honestly hope you don’t feel guilty because it’s not your fault. She is with you and god is watching over you. I’m so proud of you for being so strong. And sorry about the essay I just wrote. 😅💖

    Your story is very inspiring to me. When I was 16 my girlfriend died in a car accident on the way to visit me, we were in a long distance relationship and we would meet in Atlanta Georgia (halfway point) and I felt like it was my fault for so long because I begged her to come and see me that weekend even tho it was inconvenient for her because she had a lot going on. I’m sure you feel responsible for what happened and I felt the same for so long and I dealt with it in the most unhealthy way for such a long time. I got addicted to drugs and started self harming to deal with my pain. I’m 24 now and thankfully I can say I’m clean from drugs. I’m so glad you’ve been able to stay positive and not let yourself be miserable like I did for a long time. If you ever need to talk let me know because I understand to a certain degree at least some of the emotions you may feel. Stay positive and keep working hard! You’re helping more people then you realize.

    Driving is so dangerous and it takes many years to gain experience. I didn’t realize how much until I’d been driving for at least ten years. The accident wasn’t your fault, but I hope other teenagers hear this and realize they can’t drive distracted: it’s dangerous enough for newer drivers without distractions! You can try to do everything right like Kathryn and weird stuff happens anyway. Blessings to you - you are changing lives by sharing your story and journey and keeping Sarah alive and introducing her to more people.

    Tragic, but immediately It is obvious you are not taking responsibility. How come I don't hear not even 1 "I'm sorry?" It also seems you're leaving out some facts. Like perhaps you and your girlfriend were giggling or were looking at your phone or even texting. Or maybe even on the phone while this happened. Also, you're use of the English word, KNOW is incorrect because you don't know what your friend is doing now that they are a soul or a spirit. Instead, you can only believe or hope what they might be doing but you can't use the word KNOW, because you don't know. Anyway, as someone who knows someone who's been involved in a similar incident as yours, I don't hear any accountability for your friend's death or apology, and if you're gonna tell your story to the public, you should've included that. You DID cause your friend's death.😔

    I know exactly what intersection your talking about, I work for auto insurance and our main state I handle is Texas.. Ive handled about 200 fatalities or a little more in the past 5 years ive worked with this company... Over 1000 accidents alone.
    Its still very fresh for u and i dont blame u to not want to go into details, its extremely traumatic especially for someone your age.
    Since the change of the intersection there have been less accidents and fatalities! I would say at least 75% improvement..however the worst time of day to drive in this area is during sunrise or sunset, just because of where the highway and exit is located.
    All those families ive helped still remain on my prayer list, including u. 💙
    I know my situation is a little different but I had a miscarriage due to a car accident and i was the driver, i blamed myself for awhile until one day I just felt a since of peace and not only forgave myself but also realized it wasnt my fault it was just an accident.. I hope u know that too.
