Finding Peace After Paralysis | The Vicky Olivas Story
"At 24 years old, Vicky Olivas walked into what she thought was a routine job interview. Minutes later, a single gunshot changed her life forever.
Shot in the neck and left paralyzed, Vicky became a quadriplegic overnight. While her attacker served only a short sentence, Vicky faced a lifetime in a wheelchair. What followed was a journey through deep depression, anger, and desperate searching—until she found hope in Jesus, which transformed everything.
From bitterness to bold faith, Vicky's life became a testimony of forgiveness, perseverance, and eternal perspective. She chose to forgive the man who shot her. She chose to trust God when healing didn’t come the way she prayed. And she chose to live fully, even in the midst of paralysis.
Vicky has now gone home to be with the Lord, but her legacy of courage and faith continues to inspire countless lives. If her story encourages you, share it with someone who needs hope today." from the video introduction
