We know what it takes to end drunk driving, fight drugged driving and educate the next generation of drivers. But we still need help to reach the day that no one experiences a broken heart due to impaired driving.
Answering the call for help is at the heart of Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s mission. Whether you have questions about services, or need support after a crash, MADD cares about you and we want to help. If you or someone you know has experienced injury or was killed or experienced another kind of impact, you are not alone, MADD is here for you.
Behind every drunk and drugged driving statistic is a person whose life was full of family and friends, love and life, joy and laughter. Mothers Against Drunk Driving has several ways you can help create a future of No More Victims®.

“It is absolutely gut-wrenching and heartbreaking that a bride-to-be, Kacy E. Merseal was killed in an alleged drunk driving crash months before her wedding. We are devastated for her family, friends and fiancé left behind to bear the pain of her death to this completely preventable and extremely violent crime. MADD will be here for Kacy’s loved ones and asks that the judicial system holds the alleged criminal fully accountable for his selfish and violent choices.”
“MADD is horrified and devastated that an alleged drunk driver took the lives of two innocent children, the children’s grandmother, and a good Samaritan driver near Los Angeles Friday.

We will stand by them as they walk through this.”
“MADD is appalled and enraged that 12-year-old Shalynn Bobbitt was severely injured by an alleged drunk driver. We are especially appalled to learn that he not only had two prior convictions of OUI, but also allegedly left Miss Bobbitt alone with her injuries and fled the scene. It was a despicable, cowardly act and we ask that the court system hold the driver fully accountable.
