I have the chance to talk with Kendal Levine and Melody Levine (her mom) and discuss Kendal's miraculous recovery after being hit by a car and being in a coma for multiple months in which she overcame all the odds and is now inspiring others with her attitude and story. The event happened 6 years ago and Kendal is still learning how to walk without assistance but is not letting anything get in her way.
Follow her story on her Facebook page: Prayers for Sister Levine or at https://www.facebook.com/groups/546093822159438/
