Jesse Morella, 19, suffered severe and irreversible brain damage after a drug overdose in November, 2004 and survives today as a quadriplegic confined to a wheelchair.
The Montville Township Drug Awareness Council and the Montville Township Board of Education SACs are sponsoring "Jesse's Journey," presented by Danielle Zisa along with Maureen and Jesse Morella to illustrate and provide information on the importance of making good decisions, having a positive self-image, and the perils of drug and alcohol abuse.
We invite all parents, teachers, and students in grades 6 and up to join us for this moving presentation.
