Our Story
Thank you for visiting our page. My name is Robin and I am Victoria's mother, advocate, and number one fan. Please let me take a moment to tell you about my daughter Victoria Faith McNabb. Victoria is a native of Buncombe County, Asheville North Carolina. Born on January 22, 1993, Victoria is a 30 year old mother of Ronan who is now 12 years old. Victoria was a gifted pianist, artist, ballroom dancer, and spent most of her time with her son Ronan.
On May 22, 2015 Tragedy Struck
On Friday, May 22, of 2015 (Memorial Day Weekend) Victoria Faith was walking to cross the street (yes, a pedestrian) to catch the bus. A driver that hit her traveling 45 mph, and the impact of the car caused a massive hematoma on the left side of her head. Then the car knocked her 53 feet in the air causing the second blow to Victoria's head, and as she landed the impact knocked out a front tooth and broke nearly every bone in her face. Victoria Faith now suffers from Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. Her brain had over 16 hemorrhages, and it sheared the gray and white matter. At the time of the trauma either on the road or in the ER, she experienced a mild stroke or a series of mini strokes. This has added to the complications that has severely affected the left side of her body.
Victoria Faith was in a coma for 10 days, and was admitted to the neuro-trauma ICU for 21 days and the trauma unit for 9. Then leaving the hospital she went to Care Partners C.A.R.F. accredited rehabilitation for the next 81 days. Robin was told that as long as Victoria was progressing the therapy would continue. But because the progress was slow, I was told her only options were to go home or to a nursing home. With only few exceptions, Robin has have been by her side as much as possible, caring for her, providing therapy, feeding her a quality pureed meal and making sure my environment is healthy and happy.
The driver who crashed into her was not held accountable. insurance has not acknowledged any wrong doing. Therefore, did not pay anything for the accident. It is interesting, the fact that I was hit at a section of the highway that was in a ½ mile straight away. No rain all day, at about 6:55 p.m. on Memorial Day weekend. The police only did an accident report as if it was a “fender bender” and never pursued a full investigation.
At this point, I can only move my right arm and leg reasonably well and am for the most part incapacitated. I cannot speak yet because my speech pathways are blocked. Since going to the nursing home I have received no therapy due to the facilities doctor refusing all requests for therapy.

My neurologist, Dr. Jean-Ronel-Corbier, director of Brain Restoration Clinic, has me in an intensive treatment program that cost about $13,655 a year and includes some nutritional supplementation, many of the tests I need to have my condition evaluated as I progress, and access to many of the specialists that the nursing home has denied me. This is a priority and he comes highly recommended due to the severity of my condition.
