Todd’s Story - The Heart of the Mission
In one tragic moment, Todd Lingel lost his mother and sister to a drunk driver. That devastating loss could have broken him but instead, it fueled a fierce mission: to transform heartbreak into hope and to drive real change.
Through the Kares Foundation, Todd has dedicated his life to educating and protecting future generations from the pain his family endured. Now, with Unseen Scars, he’s amplifying the voices of those who’ve lived the reality of impaired driving, the families, first responders, survivors, and even those who have made mistakes and seek redemption.
This book is Todd’s legacy, and it’s your chance to join a movement that honors loss, uplifts courage, and drives prevention nationwide.
Why This Book Matters
Impaired driving isn’t just a statistic. It’s lives shattered, families torn apart, heroes who witness unimaginable trauma, and survivors who carry scars - seen and unseen.
Unseen Scars is a collection of real stories that show the deep, raw impact of impaired driving on all sides. It’s not just a book, it’s a powerful tool for healing and education, already designed to be used in rehab programs, driver education classes, and victim impact panels nationwide.
By sharing your story, you become part of something bigger than yourself, a nationwide movement to educate, prevent, and heal.

- First Responders: Share your frontline stories, honor those you protect, and show the world the strength it takes to serve in trauma’s wake.
- Families & Friends: Tell your story of loss, resilience, and hope. Honor your loved ones and help others understand what’s at stake.
- Survivors: Inspire healing and show that life after trauma can be a powerful testimony of strength.
- Those Who Took Accountability: Own your mistakes, share what you’ve learned, and help prevent others from walking the same path.
