Nyfeicah Johnson was badly injured in a Memorial Day hit-and-run in Southwest Philadelphia. She has since undergone a pair of surgeries with more on the horizon.
On Friday night, according to a story on Fox29, her family held a rally to bring attention to this case and those of others involving hit-and-run victims. Obviously, this is an important issue to which you should pay attention if you care about the well-being of others victimized by the self-preservationist selfishness of dirtbags.
Nyfeicah is the third child hit in Southwest Philadelphia over the past two months. In April a 4-year old boy was killed in a hit and run on South 57th Street. That same day a 2-year old boy was hit near 57th and Mascher and died days later. No arrests have been made. Nyfeicah survived but has had two surgeries so far. Her family says she’ll need more.
“It has affected us tremendously because my daughter is not the same child was prior to this,” said Johnson.
The family praised CHOP for the surgeries done to Nyfeicah’s face. They say it’s amazing.
Meanwhile the car that hit her is believed to be a gray Ford Taurus with tinted windows.

Here’s hoping Nyfeicah makes as full a recovery as possible.
