TAMPA, Fla (WFLA) — A night of hope and remembrance. Mothers Against Drunk Driving, or MADD, held a candlelight vigil Thursday to honor the lives lost and those impacted by impaired drivers.

Family members had a chance to come up to the microphone to say their loved one’s name, when they were killed, and light a candle in their honor.

Co-founder of MADD, Linda Unfried, talked about the weight of what they go through.

“There’s no goodbyes and you lose your hope, you lose a lot,” said Unfried.

People at the vigil are grieving from losses that happened in the 90s and some as recent as last year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said every day about 37 people in the United States die in drunk driving crashes.

Carly Morgan was at the vigil. She’s working through surviving a crash she was in.

“I got hit head-on by a drunk driver in 2012 and I have had 50 surgeries,” said Morgan. “I remember seeing like having a thought of that headlights were too close to me and that’s really all.”

Morgan goes to rehab and physical therapy weekly to maintain her mobility. She walked alongside law enforcement at the vigil, grateful for those who helped her through the trauma.

“It’s not a community you want to have to be in, but if you happen to end up here, the people that are here are going to be supportive,” said Morgan.

Not everyone can make it out. People brought photos of their loved ones, who they said were taken unfairly.

“I had a lot of laughs with Josie. She was just like a radar. She would find me wherever I was, Linda! And I really miss that,” said Unfried. “As long as I’ve been doing this, this is my 40th candlelight vigil. I still need healing today. It’s rough.”

Unfried wants to see change and said the keywords are responsibility and impairment. She said the police are doing their jobs, but people can’t wait until it’s their loved ones when they stop drinking and driving.
