It was supposed to be a simple drive home. Ruben Lopez and his wife had driven on Highway 66 in Rowlett many times before. From one moment to the next, their lives were turned upside down on August 24, 2014 when a drunk driver who was driving the wrong way, struck their vehicle. The repercussions have been devastating physically, emotionally and financially for the Lopez family. Both, husband and wife, suffered major injuries.
After spending time in the hospital, Ruben was released to go home but sustained serious injuries that prevent him from going back to work. He received numerous contusions on his hips, chest and legs. The back injury and broken toe he also suffered will prevent him from going back to the job he had prior to the accident, as his job requires physical labor. Ruben continues to get better physically, but the emotional and financial toll it has taken on his family is overwhelming.

His wife is currently in rehabilitation after having suffered a broken neck, and is just now beginning to regain feeling in her left leg. She is bound to a wheelchair, and when it’s time for her to return home, she will not have a home that is wheelchair accessible. Since both, husband and wife, are unable to work at this moment, they do not have the resources to purchase or rent a home that would be wheelchair accessible. They have yet to receive any money from the insurance company of the drunk driver, meanwhile, the medical bills and other expenses (such as rental car, gas, food, etc.) keep coming in. It is the hope of the Lopez family to save some money to be able to rent an apartment or house, as this will be a step forward to help them get back on their feet.
If you are able to help, it is much appreciated. Please feel free to share this page. Thank you.
