"Only you can control your future." ~Dr. Seuss ~

WITH A BROKEN WING, SHE CARRIES HER DREAMS...
MAN, YOU OUGHT TO SEE HER FLY!



5-months pregnant Teri Jendusa-Nicolai was picking up her 2 daughters at the culmination of a court-ordered visit with their father, her ex-husband. Her ex-husband explained upon Teri's arrival that the girls were playing hide 'n seek and wanted her to find them.
She hadn't been inside that house since she'd left him five years before, and her gut told her not to go in there this time. But today seemed like one of his nice days. He was extremely calm. Almost normal, even. 
She relented, figuring it must be one of his good days. She entered his kitchen only to have her head smashed from behind. The next thing she knew, she had been beaten over the head 10-15-20-times? with a baseball bat, duct-taped, stuffed into a  plastic garbage can packed with snow that would inevitably cause hypothermia.
He then drove her in the bed of his pickup truck to a warehouse at his place of employment...a place he could make certain the job was complete, and keep tabs on her remains. She could hear her daughters giggling in the cab of the truck with their dad, ignorant of what was taking place around them.
When she thought of her girls, what he would do with them, how they would be raised, where they would go...her SURVIVAL MODE kicked in and DYING WAS NOT AN OPTION! 
Please read the link below for the story of her rescue.

TERI CHOSE NOT TO BE A VICTIM BUT TO BE A SURVIVOR! 
She is now a Victim's Advocate who speaks out about domestic violence, empowering others to get out, get help, get safe...LIVE THE LIFE YOU WERE MEANT TO LIVE!  It is within your control.

WITH A BROKEN WING, SHE CARRIES HER DREAMS...
MAN, YOU OUGHT TO  SEE HER FLY!
