On February 3, 2017, a drive that should have ended safely became a nightmare no parent could survive unchanged. Twenty-month-old Eloisa Sochodolak — still learning new words, still reaching for her mother’s hand — lost her life in a crash caused by reckless driving.

In one violent moment, metal twisted, sirens screamed, and three young lives were gone — Eloisa and two teenagers whose futures also ended on that road. 🚨

Eloisa was just a baby. 🧸✨ She should have been growing into toddler giggles, scraped knees, bedtime stories, and birthdays with too many candles. Instead, her name became part of a tragedy that didn’t have to happen.

For her mother, Allison Kessler, grief did not end at the funeral. It transformed into purpose. 💪💛 She began speaking out about reckless driving, about the split-second decisions that destroy families, and about the importance of child passenger safety. Seat belts. Car seats. Slower speeds. No distractions.

Because awareness can save lives.

Eloisa’s life was brief, but it mattered. 🌸 Her story now travels farther than she ever could — a quiet reminder on highways and neighborhood streets alike:

Drive carefully.
Slow down.
Someone’s whole world is in the back seat. 🚘👶
