United Cajun Navy Steps Up To Help New Orleans Terror Attack Victim

Posted • January 6, 2025: Jeremi Sensky traveled from his Pennsylvania home to celebrate the New Year with his family in New Orleans. Sensky is a paraplegic and has been wheelchair-bound for years after a car accident left him paralyzed. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was hit by the truck during the attack on Bourbon Street. Sensky survived his ordeal but suffered fractures to both legs. He was transported to the University Medical Center, where he underwent surgery to repair his damaged legs. His wheelchair was not only left in pieces but was also being held as evidence by police investigating the attack. Tony Dickey is a chaplain with the United Cajun Navy who was at the hospital to offer counseling to the family. When he learned what had happened to Sensky's wheelchair, he did what members of the United Cajun Navy do. He stepped up to help, contacted a paramobile organization, and got Sensky a brand new custom wheelchair.

Sensky and his family are grateful for the chair and the effort made by Chaplain Tony Dickey. In an interview, Sensky said of the attack, 'This could happen anytime, anywhere. What are you going to do? Stop living your life.' They make them pretty tough in Western Pennsylvania. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1874926510487777280/vid/avc1/1280x720/rwBnNXV_zuK0-iTJ.mp4 (…)
