| Alisha Waters before and after |
(Scroll down for video) A man wanted to kill his former wife after they broke up.
Alisha Waters of Kentucky, was shot five times by her former husband and she survived.
He then turned the gun on himself and he died.
Waters’ life changed forever when her husband, Dennis Mathis, shot her in the elevator at her job.
Although Waters survived, she was paralyzed and was left a quadriplegic.
Now, Waters is determined to make the most of her life.
Her parents are turning their basement into a wheelchair accessible home so she will be able to live there.
In the two weeks before she was shot, Mathis had texted Waters 186 times.
She sought an emergency protection order against him, but a judge refused to grant her one, saying that in Kentucky, cyber stalking is not grounds for a domestic violence protection order.
Now, the brave Waters is fighting to get that law changed.
