A 4 a.m. phone call on April 17, 2020, left Buffy Trowse screaming. She frantically woke her family for a 40-minute drive to Bellingham, and waited eight hours in a hospital parking lot, unsure if her daughter would live.
That date is a day to be remembered for Buffy and her family. It was the day her daughter and former WSU student, Yashleen Singh, survived a traumatic car accident. Buffy said their lives changed after that accident.

Buffy said she remembers the fire department notifying her of Yashleen’s condition. The voice on the other end of the line told her Yashleen was in critical condition.
