Injured teen sends message to community

Lindsey Brown, seen here in her senior portrait, may be moved out of ICU in the next couple of days.

Habersham Central High School senior Lindsey Brown has been in the hospital since Oct. 20 recovering from injuries she suffered in a car wreck in Hall County. Now undergoing therapy at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Brown is improving and sends this message to the Habersham community:

I am very appreciative of my Jeep family, my friends, my church family, my Raider family and my real family for what all they have done for me during this difficult time in my life. ~ Lindsey Brown

Brown’s mother, Alice Roland Brewer, shared Lindsey’s message today through email and social media. Brewer has kept the community up to date on her daughter’s progress since the accident happened. The Habersham community has expressed great interest in Lindsey’s story and continues to show its support for her.

Airy for Friday night’s football game and a Jeep ride was held Saturday in her honor (Brown is a Jeep enthusiast). Brewer says of her daughter, “It lifts her spirits to see all of these things through Facebook and snapchat and texts.”

Brewer took to social media Monday to send several messages of her own. The first is to parents. “Tell your children that you love them every day,” writes Brewer. And her message to students, “Drive safe every time you get behind that wheel, and  tell your parents you love them every day.”
