MIAMI – A Miami mom is hoping her heartbreaking story will urge drivers not to drink before getting behind the wheel this holiday season.
“I just couldn’t believe it. I screamed so hard, I threw myself on the floor,” Delia Foster said.
It was a knock at the door in 2016 when Foster learned her 24-year-old Rachel Foster was killed by a drunk driver on the Palmetto Expressway.
“The next time I saw her was at the funeral – and that’s something I never want anyone to have to go through,” Foster said.
This was just three weeks after Rachel gave birth to her daughter Savanna.
What felt unbearable for Delia and her family was about to get even more devastating.
Just a few years later, police in Texas charged Savanna’s own father with murder in the death of Rachel’s daughter.
She was 2 at the time.
“That was what I see as a domino effect of what happened,” Foster said.
Delia vowed to transform these tragedies into something positive.
