Hit a deer

[IRescue452]

I guess I care more about that hunk of metal because that is the only thing getting me to college. I pay for college from working up to 16 hours a day in a mill all summer. I can't even afford the $400 doctor bill I have from my ankle injury. I have no insurance, medical or vehicle. I'm living as close to the edge of poverty as possible scraping together every dime I have to live, so an accident like ths sets back my entire life. The deer, while still being a living being, could just as well have been shot by a hunter and died more slowly.

I'm sorry that happened. Some people don't have to worry as much about paying bills and getting by and have no clue about how hard life can be for those who do struggle just to keep above water. There is nothing you could have done to avoid it and nothing you could have done for the deer, despite what some may think. I hope things work out for you.

BTW even if she had stopped, she couldn't have done anything. To get out and get near an injured deer could be very dangerous, even to the point of being killed by flying hooves if it was flailing. While it is sad about the deer, human life is, at the very least, just as important and a little compassion for what happened wouldn't hurt. She didn't ask the deer to jump out into her car, it just happened.
