Eventually, she moved inside the tire plant to work for another 15 years. On the morning of June 24, 2016, Valerie was involved in a horrific work accident. Her right hand was caught in a moving machine on site and traumatically amputated as she helped a coworker finish end of shift tasks.The accident changed Valerie’s life in numerous ways, forcing her to relearn the most basic of tasks since she lost her dominant hand. She weathered the storm and became a new and improved side of herself with the help of her loving wife.
