Downer time, sorry- I need your prayers, EOM Guys.

Little girl, age 14, one of my favourite "Cobra Buddies."

Dirt poor, no father figure, mother epilectic on total disability... she can't even drive.

For whatever reason, little girl tried suicide, she damned near made it. OD'd on everything she could swallow, thank God for Medevac choppers.

She's in an institution for several weeks for observation.

Not a cool thing for a kid her age.

She loves my little blue car, told her mother that one of the happiest days of her young life was when I came by and drove her around town on a Saturday afternoon and we went to all her friend's homes.

So they could see her in the Cobra.

The next week I was told that her self-esteem was sky-high, she was 'way cool with her friends.

I never dreamed that a little blue car would have therapeutic value.

Then this little gem of a girl OD's.

Pray for Marissa, please. She's worth it, you gotta trust me.

Thank all of you
