What began as a simple dinner run ended in tragedy for Yamaris Santiago, a 30-year-old mother in Milwaukee.
Yamaris had just finished ordering tacos from a food truck and was walking back to her car when a speeding vehicle came out of nowhere. The driver struck her and never stopped. No brakes. No hesitation. No attempt to help — just a hit-and-run that left her broken on the pavement.
Emergency responders rushed Yamaris to the hospital, where doctors discovered her pelvis had been shattered. She has already undergone multiple surgeries and faces a recovery expected to last a year or more. Physicians say she will need to relearn how to walk, and weeks of hospitalization are only the beginning of her long road ahead.
Family members say the emotional and physical toll has been overwhelming. What should have been an ordinary night turned into a life-altering trauma in seconds.
Supporters are now being asked to help rally prayer warriors and share Yamaris’ story so people everywhere can lift her and her family up during this painful time.
As Yamaris fights to heal, her loved ones are holding onto hope — believing that through prayer, community, and strength, she will one day walk again. 💔🙏
