The family in Aurora, Colorado, faced a harrowing ordeal last weekend when a driver crashed into their home. This incident, which seemed like a simple decision to go for takeout, took an unexpected and devastating turn. Bryan Gordilla and his girlfriend were in the car one Sunday night when the crash occurred. As they returned home, they were shocked to find the extent of the damage. The car skipped the sidewalk, tore through a corner of the house, and rammed a truck all the way to the back of Gordilla's room, destroying three walls. This was not just a physical blow but also a blow to their sense of security and well-being.

Impact on the Family

Gordilla described the situation as extremely difficult. "The whole foundation of the house is affected, and it's going to be a long and challenging process to fix. Especially with the holiday approaching, it adds to the stress. But we're staying strong and hopeful." They are currently staying at his sister's house while waiting for insurance to assess the damage. Despite the hardships, they are focused on moving forward.

Although they don't wish any harm on the driver, they do hope that if the person is caught, appropriate measures can be taken. "Everyone makes mistakes, but we need to ensure that justice is served," Gordilla said.

The Road to Recovery

The family is now raising funds to make the necessary repairs to their home. This is a challenging task, but they are determined to restore their living space. "We're grateful for the support of our community. Every little bit helps, and we're confident that we can get through this together," Gordilla added.

Looking back, Gordilla is thankful for his own safety. "It's hard to imagine what could have happened. I'm just glad that I made it out alive. This experience has taught us the importance of being prepared and having a support system."
