Madison Schemitz said domestic abuse is something that’s not talked about enough, and she hopes by bringing a One Love Foundation chapter to her school, she can change that.The St. John’s County Sheriff’s Office and Ring Power Corporation hosted a back-to-school barbeque and career fair.
“There’s a lot of options if there’s something somebody is entertaining in the workforce and we’re just here to offer that,” said Russ Martin, director of operations with the sheriff’s office.“It’s a foundation just to try and help raise awareness for domestic abuse and just shine light on that,” Schemitz said.
Following the stabbing, which the SJSO said came at the hand of her ex-boyfriend, Schemitz was left paralyzed, but she said she’s making the most of her days.
