Never in a million ways did I ever think this would be something I see. I truly appreciate all the prayers being sent on our behalf and for my baby boy Elijah Palmer. Also pray for my other son Luis Garcia. He witnessed his brother being hit and the pain he was in. Thank you to each first responder who was at my son aid. Thank you for the man who we have not identified that helped calm him and who touched each area of his body and begin to speak the word of God over him. Thank you for comforting him. Thank you to the lady who was behind the one who hit my son. Who jumped out of her car and began to administer immediate care and who held his hand the entire time. I am so grateful to everyone. Prayers are much needed. Love each one who has prayed over us.

They have needed a crosswalk there forever. Pray that he is ok and maybe this will wake them up to put a crosswalk or light there.

Elijah, does NOT want this picture of him up. Could you please remove it. This really upset him.
